<para>In the same way that menus can be moved around, as was explained
<xref linkend="menu-bars">, toolbars can be moved around the Gnumeric
window by dragging the little tag on the leftmost portion of the
toolbar.

If the Gnumeric window is too small to fit all of the toolbar buttons,
gnumeric may display a little right pointing black arrow to indicate
that there are more options. If the user clicks on this arrow, a window
will open with the remaining buttons.
</para>
<para>
Certain toolbar options, such as the zoom box, are combinations of a
button or text entry area and a downward pointing arrow. If the user
clicks on the arrow, a list of avaliable options appears. It is also
posible to "tear off" these options into a separate window in the same
way as was explained for menus in <xref linkend="Menus-General">.
</para>
<para>
The toolbars can be configured by a context-menu which opens when the
user clicks with a particular mouse button on an empty part of the
toolbars or on the toolbar handle. This menu is explained in
