After selecting text in a presentation or document, you see a small transparent bar with formatting options displayed just above the selection. What is the bar called and what is its purpose?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

When you select any amount of text within a worksheet, document, or presentation, you can move the mouse pointer only slightly within the selection to display the Mini toolbar. The Mini toolbar provides access to the most common formatting selections, such as applying bold or italic, or changing font type or color. Make any selections from the Mini toolbar by clicking the corresponding button. To temporarily remove the Mini toolbar from view, press Esc. If you want to permanently disable the Mini toolbar so that it does not appear in any open file when text is selected, click the File tab and click Options. Click General, if necessary. Deselect the Show Mini Toolbar on selection setting by clicking the check box to the left of the setting and clicking OK
