'''Standard toolbar & Formatting toolbar'''
Commands that open further submenus.

* Bulleted list item
These are indicated by a right-pointing arrow following a command, such as Toolbars and Zoom, in the View menu. Moving the cursor onto one of these items causes its submenu to open.
* The second toolbar at the top is the Formatting toolbar. It is context-sensitive; that is, it shows the tools relevant to the current position of the cursor or the selected object. For example, when the cursor is in text, the Formatting toolbar provides tools for formatting text. When the cursor is on a graphic (image), the tools are for formatting images.
* To free more space for the document, you can choose a single-toolbar alternative containing the most-used commands. To activate it, enable View > Toolbars > Standard (Single Mode) and also disable View > Toolbars > Standard and View > Toolbars > Formatting.
* Other toolbars are available at View > Toolbars.
'''Rulers'''
* The horizontal ruler across the top of the workspace is visible by default but the vertical ruler on the left is hidden by default.
* To enable the vertical ruler, choose View > Rulers > Vertical Ruler from the Menu bar, or choose Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View. To quickly show or hide both rulers, use the key combination Ctrl+Shift+R.
