TIP: Save time opening and closing toolbars by using the toolbar well. Right-click a blank space on the toolbar area
to open the list of toolbars and click to select a toolbar for display.
To refer to a name quickly, move your pointer over the vertical hatched lines at the left of a toolbar to
display its name in a tooltip or pause your mouse over a tool to display the tool's name (Figure 3.2). For
ease of use, you can show the tools' labels by choosing View > Toolbars > Show Button Labels, and then
selecting the Default, All, or No button label options.
Figure 3.2 You can see both the toolbar's and individual tools' names in tooltips
Configure the toolbars' arrangement as desired by dragging toolbars off the toolbar area on the program
window to float above the program, or drag them to redock with the other toolbars. Choose Lock Toolbars
from the View > Toolbars menu, or by right-clicking the toolbar well to display the shortcut menu to lock
the position of all docked toolbars. To reset the toolbars to the program default, choose Reset Toolbars from
the menu.
