• When you select text inside a frame, the Control panel displays either character or paragraph options. Click the
paragraph and character icons on the left side of the Control panel to determine whether paragraph or character
options are displayed. If your monitor size and resolution allows, the Control panel displays additional options. For
example, if the character icon is selected, all the character options are displayed, and some paragraph options appear
on the right of the Control panel. If you click the paragraph icon, all paragraph options are displayed, and some
character options appear on the right.
• When you select a table cell, the Control panel displays options for adjusting row and column dimensions, merging
cells, aligning text, and adding strokes.
As the options in the Control panel change, you can get more information about each option by using tool tips—pop-up
descriptions that appear when you hover over an icon or option label with the pointer.
To open dialog boxes associated with Control panel icons, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) as you click
a Control panel icon. For example, when a frame is selected, hold down Alt or Option and click the Rotation Angle icon
