You can edit this toolbar, for example adding more tools for other commands and actions. You can also create additional toolbars of your own. This topic is covered in Chapter 15.

Note 1: Right-clicking on some of these tools (e.g. Ripple Editing, Item Grouping, Snap Options, Envelope Options) offer more functionality – such as a sub-menu, or a dialog box. Note 2: Some tools might be animated. The section immediately following this one deals with this topic. Note 3: The two icons flagged with an asterisk (*) - Marquee selection and Razor edit - are mutually exclusive. They determine how mouse modifiers will behave in each of these contexts.
