<title>The Menu and Toolbar Items</title>

<para>&kpresenter; presents different types of interfaces for you to interact
with the program. Perhaps the most familiar type of interface is the
menu which appears on the top of the &kpresenter; window.</para>

<para>Clicking on the menu items gives you a list of commands from which you
can choose the one you want. Many of the commands can also be accessed
directly by holding down &Ctrl; or &Alt; and pressing another key on
your keyboard. In the next section, each of the menu commands is
described in brief.</para>

<sect1 id="toolbars">
<title>The Toolbars</title>

<sect2 id="manipulating-toolbars">
<title>Manipulating the Toolbars</title>

<para>In addition to the menus, &kpresenter; also has a set of toolbars. Each
toolbar consists of a collection of icons. A toolbar icon often presents
a convenient shortcut to a command that is found in one of the menus.</para>

</screenshot>

<para>You can move the toolbar around by dragging the handle, shown here in red. Toolbars can
be <quote>docked</quote> or attached to any side of the &kpresenter;
window. If you like, you can also have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in
its own window, separated from the main &kpresenter; window as shown in the
screenshot below:</para>

</textobject>

<para> If you don't like dragging toolbars around,
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the handle and a menu pops up as shown
in the screenshot below: </para>

</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
The first few items in the popup menu have to do with the placement of
the toolbar. You can choose any of the four sides of the &kpresenter;
window, or have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in a separate
window. Choosing <guimenuitem>Flat</guimenuitem> hides the toolbar.
To unflat a hidden toolbar, &LMB; click on its handle.


</para>

<para>
Choosing the next item in the menu, <guisubmenu>Text Position</guisubmenu>, leads
to an additional menu which lets you control the appearance of the items
in toolbar. This additional cascading menu is shown in the screenshot
below:
</para>

</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>The toolbar modes menu</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
The default view of the toolbar is icons only. In this view, if you
don't know what a particular icon means, you can hold the mouse over the
icon, and after a second or so, a little hint pops up in a highlighted
text box as shown in the screenshot below:
</para>

<screenshot>
<screeninfo>Tooltips</screeninfo>

<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle6.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Tooltips</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
You can choose to display the toolbar items as text instead of icons, or
even to combine both icons and text. If you want both text and icons,
the cascading menu allows you to select whether the text appears beside
the icons or below them. All four styles of displaying toolbar items are
shown in the screenshot below:

<para>Autocorrection is &kpresenter;'s ability to correct
common typing errors or expand abbreviations independently of the spell
checking function. There are several common typing errors entered for
you by default such as replacing <userinput>teh</userinput> with
<userinput>the</userinput> and you can add as many more as you
like.</para>

<para>The ability to expand abbreviations can save you a lot of typing
time, if you often repeat text whether in the same presentation or in
multiple presentations.</para>

<para>For instance, if you work for <quote>Company with a really really
long name Inc.</quote> then you might define an autocorrection entry so
that whenever you type <userinput>myJob</userinput> or some other piece
of unique text, it will be replaced with <quote>Company with a really
really long name Inc.</quote>.</para>

<para>Autocorrection can be applied automatically as you type, or only
on demand when you choose it from the <guimenu>Text</guimenu>
menu.</para>

<para>At the top is a drop down box to enable you to choose which
toolbar you want to modify. In the picture the <guilabel>Format</guilabel> toolbar is
selected. If I want to add the <guiicon>Spelling</guiicon> icon to
that toolbar, I click the entry in the left window. The arrow pointing
right becomes available, if I click the arrow the <guiicon>Spelling</guiicon> 
entry is added to the selected toolbar. The left arrow
is available when you click in the right side window. It allows you to
remove an icon from a toolbar. The up and down arrows become active
when an item on the wright side is selected. You can also move the highlight in
the right side window up and down with the keyboard arrow keys. By
clicking on the arrows with the mouse you can change the order of the entries 
in the menu. 
<!--The <guimenuitem>Configure
