Toolbars and Menus :
A menu displays a list of commands. A menu (or drop-down menu) is the way in which actions can be performed. Some of these commands have images next to them so you can quickly associate the command with the image. Most menus are located on the menu bar, which is the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Toolbars can contain buttons, menus, or a combination of both. A toolbar is just a collection of icons that provides a shortcut to using a drop-down menu. Toolbars offer quick shortcuts to commonly used commands and can be moved and repositioned.

Excel contains two main menu bars, over fifty pre-defined toolbars and over fifty pre-defined shortcut menus.

You can re-position any of the toolbars using the mouse and they can be docked to any side of the application window.

The menu bar contains commands that you can use to create, control, edit, delete, and format information in the Excel object:
1. File
2. Edit
3. View
4. Insert
5. Format
6. Tools
7. Data
8. Window
9. Help

The toolbar area also contains icons that correspond with specific commands. By default, the Standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar are available when an Excel object is created:
