No tabs to add/delete a line

Reviewing Boston tax records. Some lines are indexed that shouldn't be (eg: shop by Brown). I don't see the usual tabs above to add or delete a line. I've been just using command B to empty the line but that doesn't feel right to me. How do I delete/add a line?

I found a way to do this using keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Shift+ +/-). Is there any way to bring up the tabs at the top so I can "edit in bulk"?

    With your cursor in the record you want deleted, go up to the trashcan icon in the toolbar. Then go from there. To add a line, with your cursor in the record before you want to add another record (line), click on the icon to the left of the trashcan. If you can't see the toolbar, go up to Data Entry and be sure Show Toolbar is checked.

    You can delete 'in bulk' but only if nothing has been indexed for those entries. Once something has been indexed then that information has to be deleted or the entry deleted one at a time, ie: Current entry.

    Problem solved. Using the "Brave" browser, the tool bar doesn't show up. Using Chrome it does. Not sure why but, as much as I hate Google, it should suffice for indexing.

    Great thinking to figure that out. Browsers can make a difference! You might check your Brave browser in a few days to see if they have made updates that make it more compatible.
