Checking this on Max OS X (10.6.2) --

I see no 'Save' icon, only style, alignment, Fonts, Print, Help.

It would be nice to have a save icon, but I can't see how to add one. Some programs have a menu command to format the toolbar, but I can't find it in Mathematica.

You can set the Toolbar to be always on by doing the following:

On the Mathematica menu, go to Format, Option Inspector. In the Option
Inspector, pick Global Perferences in the Show Option Values dropdown.
Open up Notebook Options on the left pane, then Display Options. Over on
the right pane, select WindowToolbars and select EditBar from the dropdown.

I'm also a big fan of the keyboard shortcut Ctl-S for save. It is second
nature for me to hit Ctl-S every few minutes when working in Mathematica
or just about any other application. I wish I could get my students to
do it (I try, but some of them just won't save).

So, it's platform specific.

I'm happy enough with the default in OS X -- Like Helen Reed, I use the keyboard shortcut to save (and save often). However, it would be a good idea for Wolfram Research to add a means to edit the contents of the toolbar, as is common (in OS X, at least) for most applications.

George......

after reading your response, I went and looked at a Notebook with the Toolbar...and you are so right...there is so much 'empty' space after the alignment icons that could be used for something....it would be terrific to add things I wanted there....or , at least, have more options......
