2 Choose the menu set from the Set menu, and then click OK.

Edit or delete a custom menu set

1 Choose Edit > Menus.

2 Choose the menu set from the Set menu, and then do one of the following:

To edit a menu set, change the visibility or color of menu commands, click Save, and then click OK.

To delete a menu set, click Delete and then click Yes. If you’ve modified the menu set without saving it, you’re
prompted to save the current menu set. Click Yes to save the menu set, or click No to discard changes.

Show hidden menu items

Choose Window > Workspace > Show Full Menus. This command turns on all menus for the selected workspace.
You can hide the menus again by resetting the workspace.

Choose Show All Menu Items at the bottom of the menu that includes hidden commands.

Holding down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and clicking a menu name temporarily displays any menu
commands you’ve hidden by customizing menus.

Missing menu commands

If you can’t find a menu command, it may be hidden. If you select a workspace other than Advanced, some menu
commands are hidden. It’s also possible that you or someone else used the Menus command to hide menu items.

If you can’t find a command you’re looking for, try any of these techniques:

Choose Show All Menu Items at the bottom of the menu.

Choose Window

> Workspace > Show Full Menus.

Choose Window

> Workspace, and select a different workspace (Advanced shows all menu items).

Choose Edit > Menus, locate the menu command, and make sure it isn’t hidden.

If menu commands are still missing, try restoring preferences.

Use keyboard shortcut sets

Tool tips provide an instantaneous reference for shortcuts. InDesign also provides a shortcut editor in which you can
view and generate a list of all shortcuts, and edit or create your own shortcuts. The shortcut editor includes all the
commands that accept shortcuts, but some of these commands are undefined in the Default shortcut set.

You can also associate keyboard shortcuts with paragraph or character styles (see

Add paragraph and character styles

on page 199) or scripts.
