Navigational Tools Palette
How to get there
Choose Window > Navigational
Tools Palette.
What it does
This palette contains the Hand Grabber
Tool and Zoom Tool..
- [Close
box]. Click this small button at the upper-right corner of the
palette to close the palette. Once it’s hidden, you make the palette reappear
by choosing Advanced Tool Palette from the Window menu.
- [Title
bar]. Drag the strip across the top (or left) edge of the palette
to move the entire palette to a new screen location.
- [Sizable
frame]. Click on the very edge of the palette and drag the sizable
frame to reshape the entire palette. As you drag, the palette snaps into
new configurations: tall and thin, short and stout, square, and so on.
If your monitor is wider than it is tall, for example, you might consider
rotating the palette so that it’s a short horizontal strip.
If you drag the resize box inward toward the
upper-left corner, you hide tools. Drag the resize box outward again to
bring them back into view.
- [Tool
icons]. See the individual tool for a complete discussion of each
tool and what it does. In the meantime, note that you can rearrange the
icons within the palette. To do so, press shift and drag an icon into
a new position; it will trade places with the icon onto which you drop
it. Keep in mind, too, that you can save these configurations of tools
for quick access; see View
menu for instructions. See the Customize
Toolbar dialog box.
