Show, hide, move, or dock a toolbar

Microsoft Expression Web automatically customizes toolbars based on how often you use the toolbar buttons. If there isn't enough room to display all the buttons on a toolbar, the buttons that you have used most recently are displayed. When you use a button that is not displayed on the toolbar, that button is moved to the toolbar, and a button that has not been used recently is dropped to the Toolbar Options list.

    Note

    If you can't find a toolbar button, you may need to enable editing for the language that the button applies to.
