Using the tools

Some tools in the toolbox are for selecting, editing, and creating page elements. Other

tools are for choosing type, shapes, lines, and gradients. You can change the overall layout

of the toolbox to ﬁt your preferred window and palette layout. By default, the toolbox

appears as two vertical columns of tools. You can also set it up as a single vertical column

or as one horizontal row. However, you can’t rearrange the positions of individual tools in

the toolbox.

Select a tool from the default toolbox by clicking it. The toolbox also contains several

hidden tools related to the visible tools. Hidden tools are indicated by arrows to the right

of the tool icons. Select a hidden tool by clicking the current tool in the toolbox and then

selecting the tool that you want.

To ﬁnd complete procedures for using any tool, see the index.

To move the toolbox:

Drag the toolbox by the title bar.

To display the toolbox:

Choose Window > Tools.

To select a tool:

Click its icon in the toolbox.

Position the pointer over a tool in the toolbox that has hidden tools underneath it and

hold down the mouse button. (Tools that have hidden tools are identiﬁed by a triangle in

the lower right corner.)

When the hidden tools appear, select a tool.

Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows or Mac OS 9) or InDesign > Preferences

> General (Mac OS 10.1).

In the Tools Palette menu in the General Options section, do any of the following, and

then click OK:

•

To display the toolbox as one narrow vertical column, choose Single Column.

•

To display the toolbox as two columns with a large ﬁll box and a stroke box, choose

Double Column (default).

•

To display the toolbox as one narrow horizontal row, choose Single Row.

You can quickly cycle through toolbox display options by double-clicking the title bar

(Windows) or clicking the zoom box (Mac OS) in the upper right corner of the toolbox.

Using palettes

Most Adobe products include a number of palettes to help you monitor and modify your

work. By default, these palettes appear stacked together in several groups. You can display

and hide these palettes as you work.

When combined in one group, the InDesign Transform, Character, and Paragraph palettes

work dynamically with one another. For example, when the type tool is selected and an

insertion point is active, the Character or Paragraph palette is active (depending on which

one was last used); when any other tool is selected, the Transform palette is active.

To show one palette:

Choose the palette name in the Window menu. For example, choose Window > Stroke to

display the Stroke palette. (A check mark indicates that the palette is active.)

If the palette is already open, choosing its name in the menu brings the palette to

the front of its group.

To hide one palette or a palette group:

Do one of the following:

•

Click the close button in the upper right (Windows) or upper left (Mac OS) corner

of the palette.

•

Choose the palette name in the Window menu.

To show or hide all palettes:

Make sure that you have no text-insertion point (that is, no ﬂashing vertical line) in text or

in a palette text box, and press Tab.

To show or hide all palettes except the toolbox:

Make sure that you have no text-insertion point in a text frame or palette text ﬁeld, and

press Shift+Tab.

f you have more than one monitor connected to your system and your operating

system supports a multiple-monitor desktop, you can drag palettes to any monitor.
