[ MODERATED ] ********************
Hi,
I am using OO 2.0.3 and have questions about using toolbars in Draw:
1. The help document explains that one can add toolbars to the list
under
"View" - "Toolbar" by selecting Customize. When I do that on that
pop-up
screen, e.g. the "Circles and Ovals", and click OK, that toolbar is not
added to the View list. Any one can explain what I am doing wrong?
2. The help document describe an "Ellipses" and a "Tools" toolbar .
I can
not find either of them in the "Customize" screen drop-down menu. Are
these not included in the regular installation program? Where/how can I
add these?
As you are not subscribed you may not have seen that:

Hi, Ludo.
I just tried it. View -> Toolbars -> Customize
At the top of the pane that pops up is a drop-down list that seems to
start on Standard; it also a "Circles and Ovals" pick if that is what
you are looking for. I don't see anything labeled "Tools" or similar.
To add an item to a toolbar, choose the toolbar to which you want to add
an item, "Picture" for instance. Then click "Add...", hilight the
category and command on the new popup, then click "Add" on that new
popup.
You can select another toolbar to add items to while the "Add..." popup
is up, so if you want to add a particular item to a number of toolbars,
add it to the first, select another toolbar on the first popup, and
click "Add" again. When you have added all items you want, click
"Close" and you should be set. You can see the menu items added to the
toolbar immediately if the toolbar is displayed.
Please reply to users@openoffice.org only.

Ludo, you are puzzled because the Customize dialog doesn't actually
allow you to turn a toolbar off or on.
And it is confusing because the Customize dialog seems to indicate that
there is a Circles and Ovals toolbar.
Interestingly, there is also a Callouts toolbar. If you select another
toolbar, click the Add button in the Customize dialog and then choose
Options as your category, you can find Callouts and then add the
Callouts fly out to any toolbar (including its self which is kinda neat)
BUT you can't find Circles and Ovals to do the same thing... which I
would think you would be able to.
Any thoughts out there? I'm on OOo 2.0.3 on Windows 2000. The OP also
has 2.0.3.
