Status Bar
Previous Topic  

The status bar is displayed at the bottom of the Condes window.

The left area of the status bar describes actions of menu items as you hover the mouse cursor over the menu items.  This area similarly shows messages that describe the actions of toolbar buttons as you hover the mouse cursor over them, before clicking on them.

The right areas of the status bar indicate the following:
