Question About Wrox Book

Hello!

I am using the Wrox Starter kit book for VB 2005 express...in Chapter 6, there is a TRY IT NOW and the 4th step is this:

  1. Two useful commands that you'll build the code for later in this book are not present. They are shortcuts to delete the currently selected person from the list and to enable the user to log off. Click on the ToolStrip to make it active and show the in-place editor. In the Type Here area, enter Delete and press Enter to save the new button.

    Repeat this action and add a new button with a text label of Logoff.

I can't for the life of me get a TYPE HERE to appear on a ToolStrip...is this an error in the book

    Well, the next step is this, so it really isn't the menu bar:

    1. The buttons look a bit bulky at the moment and out of place because they are text buttons (the others are icons). Select Delete and then bring up the Smart Tag dialog window by clicking the small arrow on the right.

      Change the DisplayStyle to Image and click on the ellipsis button next to the Image property to import a new image. In the Select Resource dialog, click the Import button to select an image file on your computer. If you don't have one handy, browse to the Chapter 06\Images folder included in the downloaded code for this book and select delete.gif.

      When you've found the image you want to use, click Open to return to the Select Resource dialog, make sure it looks right in the Preview pane, and click OK

    So I am thinking it is a bad misprint...any other ideas
