Design Bar

The Design Bar is a small tool bar which appears only in Design View, usually just above the Design Panel.  You can show or hide this bar using the Layout settings.

 

The Design Bar provides a convenient way for you to access common functions which apply specifically to Design View.

 

 

Buttons

 

 

  New Chordshape
