1st Lesson — Overview    3 DynaStrip’s   tools are divided into three logical toolbars:    -Objectspalette(appears when clicking on the upper-right large button): each icon gives access to an object mode (i.e.: sheet, signature, page, marks, etc.); once an icon has been selected, the object mode becomes activated and subsequent actions will apply to this particular object.   -Actions toolbar (right-vertical bar): each icon performs a spe - cific action (i.e.: add, remove, edit, etc.) related to the active object mode.Icons appearing in theActions thus toolbar depend on the selected object mode.    -Functions toolbar (top-horizontal bar): this toolbar includes basic function icons and gives access to special features (i.e.: layers, documents, pagination, etc.). For all toolbars, tool tips appear wh en the mouse cursor is placed on an icon for about one second. This function provides the icon defini - tion.
