A menu displays a list of commands. Some of these commands have images next to them, so you can quickly associate the command with the image. Most menus are located on the menu bar, which is the toolbar at the top of the screen. Toolbars can contain buttons, menus, or a combination of both. Some menus and commands appear only in certain modules. For example, if you're working in the References module, a New Reference button appears on the toolbar. If you are working in the Notes module, you will find a New Note button on the toolbar.
Biblioscape automatically customizes menus and toolbars for you based on how often you use the commands. When you first start Biblioscape, the most basic commands appear. Then, as you work, Biblioscape adjusts the menus and toolbars so that only the commands and toolbar buttons you use most often appear. If you want, you can return the toolbar and menu display to its initial state when you first started Biblioscape. This feature is not enabled by default, because some users find this feature annoying. If you want to enable it. Click menu command "Tools | Customize...". Go to the "Options" tab, check the box "Menus show recently used commands first".
To look for a command you don't use often or have never used before, click the arrows at the bottom of the menu to expand it to show all commands.
By default, all menus are displayed. If you want, you can specify that Biblioscape on display menus used most often as mentioned in last section. Under that mode, you can double-click the menu to expand it. When you expand one menu, all of the menus are expanded until you choose a command or perform another action. When you click a command on the expanded menu, it is immediately added to the short version of the menu. A menu command is dropped from the short version of the menu if you use Biblioscape many times without using that command.
Toolbars can be positioned next to each other on the same row. For example, in the BiblioWord module, the Standard toolbar is positioned next to the Bibliography toolbar. When you put multiple toolbars on the same row, there might not be enough room to display all of the buttons. If there isn't enough room, the buttons that you have used most recently are displayed.
You can resize a toolbar to display more buttons, or you can show all buttons on a toolbar. To see a list of buttons that won't fit on a built-in, docked toolbar, click More Buttons at the end of the toolbar. When you use a button that is not displayed on the toolbar, that button is moved to the toolbar, and a button that has not been used recently is dropped to the More Buttons list.
You can also customize menus and toolbars yourself. You can add and remove buttons and menus on toolbars, create your own custom toolbars, hide or display toolbars, and move toolbars. You can customize the menu bar the same way you customize any built-in toolbar — for example, you can quickly add and remove buttons and menus on the menu bar — but you can't hide the menu bar.
