Showing and hiding palettes
The palettes are only helpful if you can access them and the Windows menu can
be used to show or hide all the various palettes available in Illustrator. In addition
to the palettes, you can use the Windows menu to show or hide the Toolbox, the
library palettes, as well as any documents that are currently open. For all palette
commands, the command will read “Show x palette” if the palette is hidden, and
“Hide x palette” if the palette is visible. Many palettes have keyboard shortcuts
that can be used to show them. These shortcuts are listed to the right of the palette
option in the Windows menu.
