FIGURE 1.11: Dragging the Zoom toolbar
4. Once the rectangle has changed shape, release the left mouse button.
The rectangle changes to the Zoom toolbar, which is now positioned
off the drawing area without its title bar.
This procedure is called docking a toolbar. Notice how the Standard and other
toolbars at the top of the drawing area have no title bars—they are docked.
Continue with these steps:
1. Drag the Zoom toolbar back onto the drawing area, using the grab
bars at the top of the toolbar. You can easily change the shape of any
floating toolbar by dragging its edge. Let’s change the shape of this
toolbar.
2. Move the cursor to the far-right edge of the Zoom toolbar until the
crosshair cursor changes to a two-way arrow.
