Access 2007 Mini Toolbar

One of the most commonly performed operations in any Office Professional 2007 program is formatting text. In earlier versions of Access, formatting text usually requires the use of a menu or a display of the Formatting toolbar. With Office Access 2007, you can use Mini toolbars to make text formatting easier. When you select the text you want to format, the Mini toolbar automatically appears above the selected text. If you move the mouse pointer closer to the Mini toolbar, the Mini toolbar fades in and you can use it to apply bold, italic, font size, color, and so on. If you move the pointer away from the Mini toolbar, the toolbar slowly fades. If you don't want to use a mini toolbar to apply text formatting to a selection, simply move the pointer over a distance and the miniature toolbar disappears.
