For example, when the cursor is in a table, a floating ''Table'' toolbar appears, and when the cursor is in a numbered or bullet list, the ''Bullets and Numbering'' toolbar appears. You can dock these toolbars to the top, bottom, or side of the window, if you wish (see “Moving toolbars" on page 4).
