How to Change Tool Bar Settings

Different user interfaces have varied toolbar priorities. But the good news is that you can access their hidden stash of buttons. There will be no more--at least there will be less of--accessing the commands by way of selecting "File" from the toolbar pull-down menu, and then selecting "Print." So, go ahead and begin to take the road that is less traveled on purpose--because the toolbar one-step icon world of "Copy" and "Paste" is just a keystroke away.
