Itranslator has two different styles of toolbars:

1. Office 2007 Style Ribbon Bar

2. Office 2003 Style Toolbar

How to change the look of your Ribbon Bar / Toolbar.

 

1. Office 2007 Style Ribbon Bar

Note: The ribbon bar contains all possible commands and therefore no Menus are used in this style.

The use of the buttons is self-explanatory. However, some of the buttons have an additional 'drop-down arrow',

which bring up a submenu with more options:

The 'Open' submenu shows a list of recently opened files that you can open.

The 'Save', 'Print' and 'Preview' submenus give you the option which texts you wish to save, print or preview:

ITRANS, Devanagari, Transliteration or Combined Conversion.

The 'Windows' submenu shows a list of open files.
