Changing Settings in Read&Write

When the toolbar appears on the desktop click on the dropdown arrow next to the purple icon (see above). Choose General Options:

Here you can change how Read&Write appears to you. I personally like the Professional toolbar and small icons with text. When you have chosen how you want your toolbar to appear, click OK. Then left click AND HOLD anywhere in the toolbar and ‘drag’ it to the top of your desktop. The toolbar will ‘dock’ and stay at the top of your screen. That’s it! Read&Write is ready to go!!
