Classic toolbar

The Classic toolbar is a set of icons shown in Microsoft Word when Wordfast Classic is installed and activated. By clicking the icons, the user can activate some of the most important Classic functions.

Sample icon captionIf you hover over an icon in the toolbar, a caption appears. The caption shows the name of the icon and the keyboard shortcut you can press instead of the clicking icon.

Expanding the toolbar

When Wordfast Classic loads into MS Word, only one Wordfast icon, the Wordfast icon, usually appears. Depending on your Wordfast and Word versions, it may look like one of these: . Clicking the icon expands the toolbar and fully activates Classic in MS Word.

The set of icons in the toolbar
