If you look at the Edit toolbar, you will notice three large drop-down menus. The drop-down menus were designed for you to be able to quickly add certain common features into your document. The first drop-down box is used for quickly dividing your document by parts, chapter, sections and so on; the available commands to add segments to your L^AT_EX source code are:

part: highest level of sectioning for a document.
chapter: starts a new chapter.
section: create a new section.
subsection: create a new subsection.
subsubsection: a secondary section between subsection and paragraph.
paragraph: create a new paragraph.
subparagraph: create a new subparagraph.

The drop-down box named label is used to insert items to your document such as indexes, footnotes, and references; the available commands are:

label: a command that produces a label for a chapter, a figure or another element.
index: creates an entry for the index.
footnote: creates a footnote in your document.
ref: used to refer to a predefined label, which you can choose from a drop-down list.
pageref: just like ref, but refers to a page instead of a structure element.
cite: create a reference with data from a bibliography.

When using cite, you are presented with a drop-down list of bibitems, but if you are using BibT_EX this will only work if the file belongs to a Project. You can also use gBib or pyBliographer, or do it by hand.

The last drop-down box labeled tiny is used to set the size of the text. You can set the size of the main text, of footnotes, and so on. The available commands are:

tiny: smallest.
scriptsize: very small.
footnotesize: smaller.
small: small.
normalsize: normal.
large: large.
Large: larger.
LARGE: even larger.
huge: still larger.
