Add and Remove Dock Items
1. Open the icon for your hard drive and then click
Applications in the sidebar on the left side of the Finder
window to open the Applications folder, as shown in
Figure 1-9.
2. Locate the icon for the program that you want to add to
the Dock.
In some cases — such as Apple iWork or Microsoft Office applica-
tions — you may need to open a subfolder to find a program’s
icon. Look closely at the icon; if the icon looks like a folder, it is a
folder.
3. Click and drag the program’s icon to the Dock, as
shown in Figure 1-9. The place where you drop the icon
on the Dock will be that icon’s location, so choose a
location carefully.
4. To launch an application from the Dock, simply click
the appropriate icon. The application launches.
5. To remove an item from the Dock, click-and-hold the
mouse pointer on the item until a pop-up menu
appears, as shown in Figure 1-10.
If you’re using a two-button mouse, simply right-click the Dock
icon you want to remove instead of clicking-and-holding.
6. While still holding down the mouse button, move the
pointer over Remove from Dock and then release the
mouse button. The item disappears from the Dock.
