Customizing Page & Layout Designer 361
Displaying & hiding control bars
The display of control bars is controlled
by the
CONTROL BARS dialog box
("
WINDOW" > "CONTROL BARS").
Against the name of each control bar is a
check box. A tick in the check box shows
that the control bar is currently displayed.
Click on the required control bar's check
box to display or hide that bar.
You can also quickly turn
CONTROL BARS on or off if you right-click in any empty area
at the top of the program window. Use the drop-down menu to choose which bars
you want to display.
Docked and free floating control bars
Normally, control bars are docked (attached to the edges of the window). Moving the
window also moves docked control bars.
Control bars can also be floating. These do not follow movements of the window.
Floating control bar Docked control bar
You can hide a floating control bar either using the CONTROL BARS dialog box
(described above) or by clicking its
CLOSE icon.
To make a control bar float, drag it away from the edge of the window either onto the
editing area or off the Page & Layout Designer window.
To dock a control bar, drag it over:
• The edge of the window.
• Or the menu bar.
• Or another control bar.
A floating control bar has a double line outline while dragging. This changes to a
single line when in a docking position. If you want the control bar to remain floating,
hold down "Ctrl" while dragging.
