About the Navigator panel

If you’re familiar with previous versions of InDesign, you may wonder why you can’t find the Navigator panel. The
Navigator panel does not appear in InDesign CS4. The Power Zoom feature effectively replaces the Navigator panel.
See “

Use power zoom

” on page 33.

Use context menus

Unlike the menus that appear at the top of your screen, context-sensitive menus display commands related to the
active tool or selection. You can use context menus as a quick way to choose commonly used commands.

1 Position the pointer over the document, object, or panel.

2 Click the right mouse button.

Note: (Mac OS) If you don’t have a two-button mouse, you can display a context menu by pressing the Control key as you
click with the mouse.
