The Global Toolbar

The Global Toolbar, which is displayed across the top of the Workspace, provides quick mouse access to
some of the most commonly used PrintMaster Gold actions such as closing the current project, going to the
Ready Made Gallery, starting a With Help project, and starting a Brand New project. These buttons are also
one-step alternatives to using the menu bar for saving, printing, viewing Print Preview, cutting, Pasting, and
others. To hide or display the Global toolbar, access the View menu, then Toolbars/Global Bar.

Text Toolbar

The Text toolbar is where you can make adjustments to the text in your project. Notice that whenever you
click on text in your project, the Text toolbar will be immediately updated. You can also use this toolbar to
bold, italicize, stretch, bend, or align your text.
To hide or display the Text toolbar, access the View menu, then Toolbars/Text Bar.
