As the options in the Control panel change, you can get more information about each option by using tool tips—pop-up
descriptions that appear when you hover over an icon or option label with the pointer.
To open dialog boxes associated with Control panel icons, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) as you click
a Control panel icon. For example, when a frame is selected, hold down Alt or Option and click the Rotation Angle icon
to open the Rotate dialog box.
Display the panel menu
❖ Click the icon to the right of the Control panel.
Dock or float the Control panel

• Drag the vertical bar on the left side of the Control panel until the toolbar is docked to the top or bottom of the
application window (Windows) or screen (Mac OS).
• Choose Dock At Top, Dock At Bottom, or Float from the Control panel menu.
Customize the Control panel
1 Choose Customize from the Control panel menu located on the right side of the Control panel.
2 Specify options that you want to display or hide, and then click OK.

tool or selection. You can use context menus as a quick way to choose commonly used commands.
