Note

The buttons you see in the button bar depend on the type of document

or frame you’re working in. For example, you see the button for rotating
objects 90 degrees only when you’re working in a paint document or frame.

Creating your own button bar

You might want to create a new button bar with the buttons you use most
often. To create your own button bar, choose New Button Bar from the

menu

on the button bar. In the New Button Bar dialog box, type a name for the
button bar, add buttons, and then click OK. For information on adding and
removing buttons, see the previous section.

Using palettes

A palette is a window with options you can apply to documents, frames, and
objects. You can open and close palettes, such as the fill, pen, library, and
stylesheet palettes.

Note

You can resize some palettes, such as the library and stylesheet

palettes. To resize a palette, hold the mouse button down over the lower-right
corner of the palette, and then drag the corner diagonally until the palette is
the size you want.
