Composition Tool Bar

The Composition Tool Bar buttons are commands for most of the tasks needed to create a basic web page. These tasks can also be accomplished from the drop down menus of the Menu Bar.  Many find the buttons easier and faster to use than the menus.

The Composition Tool Bar has 16 buttons.
Click on each button for an explanation of its function.
