Using SmartIcons

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.
