Palette menus
Each of the panels contains its own pull-down menu. When a panel is open in the Navigation pane or in a
floating window, select the Options down-pointing arrow to open a pull-down menu, as shown in Figure
1.49. Menu commands found in panels may or may not be available from the top-level menu bar.
Additionally, some panels, like the Attachments and Comments panels, offer you several pull-down menus.
FIGURE 1.49
Palette Options menus provide menu commands specific to each palette function.
Context menus
Context menus can display different options for palette choices depending on where you open a context
menu. If you move the cursor to an empty area when all text and objects in a palette are deselected and
open a context menu, the menu options may be different than when you select text or an object in a palette.
However, this is not always the case, because a few palettes provide you with the same options regardless of
whether something is selected or not. In Figure 1.50 a context menu is opened within the Bookmarks
panel. In this case you need to open the menu on a bookmark name. If you attempt to open a context menu
in an empty area in the pane, no menu opens.
In Figure 1.51, a page in the Pages pane is selected and a context menu is opened on the page, as shown on
the left side of the figure. On the right, a context menu is opened in an empty area in the pages pane. This
figure illustrates the different menu options some panels have when selecting an object versus an open area
in the pane.
