Palette options
Visible Click to show or hide a page, layer, or object. Hiding a page hides all its
layers (unless one is the current layer). When something is hidden, a
hollow circle appears in the Visible column. If the object is visible, a
blue-filled circle appears in the column.
Printable A bullet indicates an item will print. When no bullet appears, the item
will not print. If you change this option on a page, the setting is applied
to all the page’s layers.
Locked Click to lock or unlock a page, layer, or object to prevent or allow
changes. A bullet indicates an item is locked and its contents can’t be
selected, moved, edited, or deleted. Grid layers are always locked. A
padlock icon indicates an item is also password-protected.
Color Override Click in the column to apply an override color to a layer. A square with
the override color appears in the column. To select an override color in
the Layer Options dialog box, double-click the layer name. To hide a
layer’s override color, click in the column to remove the color square.
Master Visible Click to show or hide the master page on a document page. If the master
page is hidden, a hollow circle with gray outline appears in the column.
When the master page is visible, the hollow circle has a blue outline.
Master pages are not available in Illustration documents.
You can hide master page layers using the Visible option. Hiding all
master page layers is the same as hiding the master page.
Frame Duration In Animation documents, this column shows the duration of a frame in
hundredths of a second. To change the frame’s duration, double-click
the frame name, change the duration value in the Frame Options dialog
box, and click OK.
Using the layout list
You can use the list in the Document Layout palette to display and select pages, layers, and objects.
You can expand the list to display more detail, or collapse it to display fewer items.
Items in a document are listed in a tree format in the Document Layout palette. The layout list is a
hierarchy. Pages are at the top level, followed by layers, then group objects, then individual objects.
Each level is indented to the right from the level above. The master page and its layers are listed after
a page’s regular layers.
