TERMS: MENU BAR, ACTION BUTTONS & TITLE BAR

Title Bar
Located at the top of the screen, your Title Bar always shows you where you are and what software program you are using. For example, when you open a new document, your Title Bar would display “Document 1 – Microsoft Word.” After you save the document the display will read (for instance) Weekly Schedule – Microsoft Word” – if you are visiting a webpage such as “All My Faves”, your Title Bar would display "All My Faves – Windows Internet Explorer".

Action Buttons
Located to the far right of the “Title Bar” there are three action buttons: minimize your screen ( - ), maximize your screen ([_]/Box ), or close/shut down the program ( X ).

Menu Bar
Located below the Title Bar, the menu bar allows you to access various menu selections by using your mouse and clicking. Certain commands & functions are always in the same "menu" such as you will always find Cut-Copy-Paste-Find-Replace in the Edit Menu..
Note: Newer versions of some software - such as Office 2007 & 2010 - no longer use the toolbar system with the Title & Menu Bars, but have replaced those with the newer Tab & Ribbon format...
