It uses a sidebar panel that provides frequently used tools

In my screenshot you will see I have already implemented this feature at the bottom right.
We don't have icons for it currently;
however, I have used at least 5 programs with this feature,
and have mostly found the icons confusing.
Using words instead of icons, it is so much easier for me to know what I'm toggling.
That said, if someone can create very distinct icons, then we can consider using those.


PS. Check out LibreOffice... which supports .docx, and is considered superior to OpenOffice by many people (including me).
