I had to try around with a few different things but I think I went to Microsoft Office Word Help and followed the directions for "create a custom toolbar"

Floating snowflakes
I just love the floating snowflakes - you don't have to shovel 
Floating home
Thanks for all your POSITIVE comments. I do live in a floating home -- Tom Hanks "Sleepless in Seattle", it is a small ranch style house that sits on the water. It is not a boat or a boathouse but just like a house but the river is my yard. I sit at the end of one of the walkways that faces east, live in Portland, OR, and I have no one on my east and never will and so I can see Mt. Hood when sitting in my hot tub on my deck. I watch the sun come up in the morning over the river as I get up early to do my typing -- love to type from 5:30 to 9:30 and usually start my day with a cup of coffee doing just that. When there is a full moon is shines to my east and bounces off the river and is truly a beautiful view as well. I have pesky raccoons that come up to the deck looking for garbage but it is still fascinating to watch. We have river otters that play and swim in the water and seals that are beginning to steal the fish you catch from the deck. It is a way of life and not for everyone but I fought hard to keep this throughout a nasty divorce and was able to do so. It is a community life but most of my neighbors are closer to me than my family and lots of times more helpful. I have been down here 11 years and though I know someday I will have to leave it will be very hard. Cannot imagine myself in a conddo or a townhouse and not being outside 80% of my free time. I have about 30 pots of flowers all over my deck. I have tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers also growing outside. My outside living space is about 450 to 500 sq feet which adds a lot. Drawbacks are when it is raining outside you have to walk to your car -- about 1/4 of a mile from my house, it can be colder than usual on the river and in the winter you don't have as many visitors as you do in the summer. The rest of my summer weekends are booked up with family and friend BBQ's, etc. But we have what we call the Christmas ships in December which are boats that decorate just like houses and they cruise the Willamette-Columbia rivers and they pass right in front of my house and so usually have at least two groups down during Christmas time. And when I write something like this it makes me realize how luck I am and I do thank the Lord for all his help as without him this would not be possible. Thanks again to all of you. 
Same boat here, same floating turds (sm)
You are not alone. What really ticks me off is to wade through one piece of crap after another and then all of a sudden you get "no job found". Someone was skimming the cream even as you were cleaning up the feces.
I hope those "prima donna transcriptionsts" eventually get what is coming to them.
To Patti - the lady who lives in a floating home - see message.
Patti, when you have time, could you please e-mail me? Thanks, Kim
I would, but I cannot get a Toolbar
of any kind to come up. Just the horizontal and vertical rulers.
Thanks for the suggestion, tho!!
toolbar
In the right hand corner, there is an icon called *tools*. Click on that and a drop down box will open with *toolbars* in it. I have not tried it myself, but there should be something in there to get what you are looking for. Also the *customize* button. Good luck. hope it works for you!.
toolbar
just figured it out! yeah!!

Go into view, toolbar and see which ones are highlighted and then you can hit which ones you want. I use standard and formatting for mine. that does give two lines but it is what I use. Hope that this helps.
Once I get top toolbar set up how I want it,

Do you have a customized toolbar?
Is this a situation where you can set one up? If so, go to View, Toolbars, then to the Toolbars tab and click "new." Name it whatever you want (I just use my first name) and then click the Commands tab and drag the icons you choose over to your new toolbar.
The reason I am saying all this is that I have a Bullets and Numbering icon on my toolbar, so whenever the numbering starts messing up, I can highlight the area where I want the numbering to be, click on the Bullets and Numbering icon, and fix it - quick and easy.
Plus I can put only the icons I use most on the toolbar and not have all those I don't want. Speeds things up a lot when I don't have to sort through a bunch of icons to find what I want.
Toolbar in what program?

You set up that on your toolbar using Word? (m)
Any chance you could tell me how? I'm not that savvy, lol. I appreciate the help!
On the toolbar there is this rectangle with
the percentage mark. Make sure that it is set on 100%. This determines the size of the text.
Tell me if it worked, thanks.
I used to have a free little toolbar that I downloaded and
there was also a website where you could sort the feedback of ebay users. I deleted it because I'm just not into ebay as much as I used to be. However, if you check Google or Download.com, you ought to be able to find something. GutCheck is one of them, but I've never used it.
I typed the following into Google to find GutCheck.
ebay sort negative feedback
And "ebay feedback" without quotes at download.com to find BayCheck.
HELP. My husband screwed up my toolbar
how do i get it back down where it used to be? The start menu, etc.
Look at View/Toolbar -- and over to the side of that is a SM
dropdown menu that should have some things checked on it. If you can't see "view" then do alt+v and see if that works.
I have a technical question. On my toolbar when
I click on any of the categories (File, Edit, View, Tools or Help), instead of getting my dropdown menu I get a trasparent square. If I drage my mouse down, then the titles appear but you can see the screen under them. The same thing happens on Outlook Express. (I have Windows XP). The only one that shows the regular dropdown menus is Favorites. This just started today. Has anyone had a similar thing happen or know what to do about it? Thanks.
Pull Down "View" on Toolbar.
Then hit Zoom.
on toolbar, click view
then uncheck ruler
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
Lock toolbar is not an option I am given? Any

Line count is not on my toolbar.
I stand corrected. I had no idea it was on the Tools menu; I have always used a separate line counting program OR the Properties under the File menu. Also, my Tools menu is condensed most of the time and I had not noticed Word Count on there before. "Look before you leap."
MS word toolbar question - sm
Somehow I lost the print and print preview options on my toolbar and I do not know how to get them back.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Toolbar in Work Queue
Does anyone know what the expanded toolbar is in the work queue? It has about 7 icons at the top instead of 3?
Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow? I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember. My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
View > Toolbar > Lock the Toolbars

Get a Google Toolbar, description and link enclosed
I have a Google search toolbar at the top of my browser. It's a small line like the address bar but it says Google beside it and I just type in my searches there instead of going to Google first, etc. I've found it very easy to use. Of course, as with anything there are extra parts to the program, I just added the basic tool bar and went to options and only kept the parts of it that I wanted on my toolbar. It makes searching a whole lot easier, all I need to do is bring up the internet and my search is at the top.
