You can use the Symbol dialog box to insert symbols, such as ¼ and ©, or
special characters, such as an em dash (—) or ellipsis (…) that are not on your
keyboard, as well as Unicode characters.
The types of symbols and characters that you can insert depend on the font that
you choose. For example, some fonts may include fractions (¼), international
characters (Ç, ë), and international monetary symbols (£, ¥). The built-in Symbol
font includes arrows, bullets, and scientific symbols. You might also have additional
symbol fonts, such as Wingdings, that include decorative symbols.
NOTE: You can increase or decrease the size of the Symbol dialog box. Move the pointer to the lower-
right corner of the dialog box until it changes into a double-headed arrow, and then drag to the size that you
want.

A toolbar often provides quick access to functions that are commonly
performed within the program. For example, a formatting toolbar in
a Microsoft Excel gives you access to things like making text bold or changing its
alignment, along with other common buttons. In an Internet browser, toolbars add
functionality that may not come pre-installed. For example, with the Google
Toolbar, you can get access to exclusive Google features.

Types of a Toolbar

Application Toolbar
An application toolbar (appbar) works like the Windows taskbar. Software
programs use them extensively. The appbar is anchored to part an edge of the
Window, which differentiates it from a palette, often a free-floating or a dialog
box that appears with a right click of the mouse. Appbars generally have
buttons that give you quick access to other Windows, applications or shortcuts
within the program such as "Home," "View" or "Update."
Quick access toolbar
Although menus and toolbars were eliminated by Microsoft in Office 2010 in
lieu of "ribbons," the Quick Access Toolbar is notably still present. A
customizable toolbar, which you can locate either above or below the Ribbon,
is a set of your most frequently used commands. It does not matter on which
ribbon the command is found, it always appears for your easy access.
Search Toolbar
Most search engines, such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing, offer users a toolbar to
attach to the top of the browser window. Depending on the preferences that
you choose, you can use the toolbar to quickly search or access your favorite
search engine features including mail, weather and news.
These browser toolbars also provide access to functionality similar to many
word processing programs such as "File," "Edit" and "Save." Some browser
toolbars provide email and instant message access as well as spam controls.
Bookmarks Toolbar
Called favorites in Internet Explorer, and bookmarks in Chrome and Firefox,
most browsers include a spot to display frequently accessed bookmarks. When
you save a bookmark, you can choose to place it on the bookmark bar or you
can move it there at a later date. Save folders, website or feeds to the bar and
rearrange them easily. A "Favorites" icon such as a star is often included with
the Bookmarks toolbar, providing you with easy access to your favorite
websites.
Thumbnail Toolbar
A thumbnail toolbar found exclusively in Windows 7 provides you with instant
access to the key commands of a window through an embedded toolbar in the
thumbnail. The toolbar has a maximum of seven buttons. It is only available if
the application designer has included the toolbar feature; it is not a toolbar that
you can choose to display.
