Titlebar, Menubar and Toolbar

Here we go over what the titlebar, menubar and toolbars are.

Title Bar

The Title bar can be found on the topmost portion of the screen. It displays the file name of the currently active word document. Like other Windows applications, it can be used to alter the size and location of the Word window.

Menu Bar

The Menu bar is located directly below the Title bar. It displays the following menus: File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, Window, and Help. When a menu name is selected, a drop-down list of options is displayed.

Toolbars

Word has a number of tool bars that help you perform tasks faster and with great ease. Two of the most commonly toolbars are the Formatting toolbar and the Standard toolbar. These two toolbars are displayed just below the title bar. You can turn them ON or OFF through the toolbar option found in the View menu.
