Display the panel menu
❖ Click the icon to the right of the Control panel.
Dock or float the Control panel
❖ Do one of the following:
• 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.
Use the Command bar
The Command bar (previously called the PageMaker toolbar) provides quick access to a set of frequently used
features. You can show or hide the toolbar, and you can dock it to the top, bottom, or side of the document window.
Note: In InDesign, Command bar buttons are disabled if the feature isn’t available. For example, if a document has only
one page, the Remove Pages button is dimmed.
Command bar
A. Docked toolbar B. Floating toolbar
❖ Do one of the following:
• To display or hide the Command bar, choose Window > Object & Layout> Command Bar.
• To dock the Command bar, drag the vertical bar on the left of the Control bar until the bar is docked beneath the
Control panel, or to the bottom of the document window.
• To undock (float) the Command bar, drag the vertical bar on the left of Command bar away from the area where
it’s docked.
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.
