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.
