Can the sidebar icons be moved to (top) function toolbar?

Post by NE Oh cat person »

Running Windows 11 and about 3-4 months ago, some icons disappeared from the function (top of the page) tool bar. I tried various suggestions from other posts to install only 3 oft used icons: currency (coins), paint can (color cells), and "A" underline (change font color). Nothing has worked and neither did F11. Even tried reformatting the toolbar with no success. Gave up but I updated to the 2023 version prior to writing this post. Now, the icons appear in a side toolbar, which wasn't there previously. I would like to move them back to their original location on the top, then remove the side bar. I don't do anything detailed/advanced with Office - extremely simple spreadsheets but use those 3 icons. No hyperlinks - don't even know what those are- or any such advanced procedures. Is it even possible to get these 3 icons back to the top toolbar? Seems simple but I'm having no luck. Thanks.

At the right end of the toolbar icons, there is a small downward pointing black triangle. Click on that and select Visible Buttons. You will then see a list of all the possible buttons for that toolbar and be able to to activate the ones that are missing.

But it' strange they hava vanished at all.
You could try to reset your OpenOffice user profile if you want to return to the brand new settings.
