The Greek Toolbar

The Greek Template features a special toolbar which offers an alternative means of inserting breathings, iota-subscripts and accents. If the Toolbar is not visible when you open a document based on the Greek Template, simply click on the button labelled Accents Toolbar? located on the end of your normal Formatting Toolbar.

The purpose of the buttons on the left is self-evident. if you have typed a letter and want to add to it a breathing, iota-subscript or accent, simply tap the appropriate button with the left mouse button.

If you are a touch-typist or do a lot of Greek typing, I think that you will find that the keyboard shortcuts are much faster and easier than mousing up to the Toolbar every few seconds. The Greek Toolbar comes into its own, however, when you need to enter a rare combination of symbols. Also, the Toolbar is useful when you are mousing through your work correcting the odd error after the main typing chore has been accomplished.

The purpose of the other buttons on the right of the Toolbar are explained in a moment.
