The Icon Bar

The icon bar appears directly under the menu bar in the Control area. If you hold your mouse over an icon, a tooltip appears with the icon's name. If the icon's function is not available, the icon is grayed out. For example, when you first open a project, the Undo and Redo icons are grayed out because there not yet any commands to undo or redo.

The icons in the icon bar are:

Icon Icon Name Icon Function
New/Open Project Opens the Project Set-Up Wizard so that you can create a new project or open an existing project.
Save Project Saves the changes you have made to the current project.
Undo Undoes the previous command.
Redo Redoes the previous command.
Track Time Shows or hides the Track Time button and the tracked time spent on the current project (both in the Control area).
