The Configure Smart Icons command allows the user to create and modify Smart Icon sets. The Smart Icon bar is located directly below the menu bar. The Smart Icon bar shows a configurable list of Smart Icons.
A Smart icon is a button that, when pressed, executes a specific command. The button face typically displays a picture that describes the action to be performed when pressed. It is designed to quickly and easily execute a pull-down menu command.
If you don't know what a smart icon does, you can quickly find out by clicking and holding the right mouse button on it. The title bar will describe the smart icon until you release the mouse button.
You can have more than one Smart Icon set. You can select another Smart Icon set by selecting the Next Page of Icons option from the File pull-down menu. You can also use the select page Smart Icon to pick from a list of pages.
