the Page & Layout Designer window, next to the menu options. The current document
receives all input. Any unsaved changes in a document are indicated with a star after
the file name.
Document tabs show all open documents, with the current document tab highlighted gray.

You can customize the standard control bar in the same way as other control bars.

them. Hold the mouse pointer over these icons and you’ll see the fly-out bar appear,
with more icons.
