When you select a text object or a table object, a convenient toolbar in miniature format is displayed, the mini-toolbar.

Note: The Mini toolbar is especially useful if you use the classic menu and toolbars instead of the ribbon. You can select the type of display in the project options (Project> Options> Workspace). When using the ribbon, the functions of the mini-toolbar will be displayed in the tabs "Text Tools" and "Table Tools".

 

§ With the mini-toolbar you can add a text paragraph, define a new table line, insert a new table row, apply fonts, font sizes, orientations, text colors and formatting as well as open the object dialog.

§ You can close the mini-toolbar by pressing ESC. With the project option "Show mini-toolbar" (File > Options > Workspace) it can be suppressed permanently.
