My question may not be of interest to people who are steeped in the lore of computer issues. Mine is a simple question and it is of interest to me. How do
I get bold, italicize , underline, strikethrough onto my menu bar when the Document opens?
Hello @aquerin,
Have edited the main question to better reflect what you need. This will also help get proper people to respond.
If you need the buttons, this means you are manually formatting your document.
While this can be tolerated for short one-shot expendable documents, it is the most reliable way to head into formatting hell with maintained long-term documents (it begins to manifest itself with 2 pages!).
Use styles: paragraph and character styles. You can define your own and store them in a personal template so that they are available as soon as you open/create a document.
Read the Writer Guide for more information.

aquerin,
Onto de menu bar (File, Edit, Format, etc.) or onto the toolbar (buttons with icons)?
To show the toolbar with buttons Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, etc. choose menu View - Toolbars - Formatting.
If you wish to change buttons in a toolbar:
“Open the context menu of the toolbar (right click onto the toolbar) and choose Visible Buttons (at the bottom) and then [de/]select the button you want”.
See LibreOffice Help. More help on customizes LibreOffice. In the Help page you can choose another language.
