- New, Templates, Open, and Save options: These icons to the extreme left of the Standard toolbar allow you to make new files, display the Word Document Gallery, and open files in Finder. It also allows you to save your files.
- Print: This icon allows you to print some or all of your content to a connected physical printer, or in many cases a virtual printer driver that saves to PDF files.
- Undo and Redo: These icons allow you to return to how your file was a few clicks ago, or redo something you just did.
- More controls: If you resize the window to be smaller or customize a toolbar and put more controls onto it than can be easily displayed, a chevron appears at the right end of the toolbar. Click the chevron to display controls that don’t fit in the toolbar.
