Strange toolbar in writer

users
#1

Don't know what I did to get it there, but just under the normal toolbar
(the one with text type, typeface and size etc) I have a very broad one
with, on the left, a button for New theme and under that a choice of
Backgrounds, Bullets, Homepage My Theme and Sounds, and to the right of
this menu list a whole series of what I would call wallpapers.

I don't see a cross I can click on to get rid of this toolbar, and I
can't find it under View. How do I get rid of it so that I have more
space for my text?

TIA

Hi James

That is the Gallery. It is under Tools > Gallery
Click on the menu item to show/hide

Hope this helps :wink:

You are welcome :wink:
You can also hide/show by clicking on the Gallery button in the Standard
Toolbar (usually the top one, with Open, Save, etc). It is the 4th button
from the right.
(This is also a warning, because maybe that is how you got it on screen...)

Cheers,
Pedro

I guess you are right, as I don't remember being in the Tools menu. But
this document was open in a virtual machine, and there had been a bit of
panic about the machine shutting itself down when this Gallery thing
appeared, and I might have clicked on the toolbar in passing.
