SmartIcons (a Lotus term) are the icons located on the toolbar. Most of your Windows products contain a toolbar with icons that act as shortcuts or alternatives to using the menu. Some people find it faster to click a SmartIcon than to look through the menus to find choices such as opening a database or bolding text. Like menus and Action Bars, SmartIcons are context sensitive; that is, they change with the task you are doing.
Tip
Semper Fidelis The first six SmartIcons to the right of the first spacer are always available. They will not change as you move from task to task in Notes.
