Many of the options in the drop-down menu bar at the top of the screen correspond to the icons or buttons located either across the top or along the left side of the display window.

The icons at the top of the screen represent standard Windows commands, such as File, Edit, View, and Help.

You can show or hide this tool panel by clicking the Show-Hide Tools icon  button on the main toolbar.
