The Toolbar

VoodooPads toolbar provides you with quick access to many useful features in VoodooPad. Most of these features can also be accessed from the menu, or with keyboard shortcuts, but the toolbar highlights some of the most used features. Let's breifly discuss the buttons on the toolbar, as well as how to hide and change them.



The butons in the top left you should be familiar with, They are Close, Minimize, and Zoom. Unlike the zoom button in most windows, VoodooPads zoom will stretch out your window to as big as it can get on your computer.



Sometimes you'll see the close button look like this:



This means that the document has changed since you last saved it. For the most part you wont have to worry about saving. The program will automatically save every time you go to a different page, move to a different program and leave VoodooPad open, or when you close the document you're working on, but if you find yourself nervous about the content of your page, choosing File->Save will also do the trick. You'll notice as soon as you do, the dot in the middle of the close button will disappear.

On the top of the toolbar is the name of your document followed by a colon, and then the page you are on. In my case "The History of Coffee.vpdoc:Index"



On the right of the toolbar there is a little pill shaped button which will hide the toolbar.




The toolbar can also be modified, if it is not to your liking. View->Customize Toolbar will present you with more options, as well as allow you to move the exising icons around, or remove them from the toolbar. For more on Customizing the toolbar, check out the Customizing Toolbar page.
