THE OBJECTS PALETTE

The Objects palette contains all the draggable objects that you use to create content for your web pages and documents. The Objects palette is separated into 11 sections or categories, as shown in Figure 34.3. Each section contains objects for a specific purpose. For example, use the objects in the QuickTime Objects palette to create and edit QuickTime movies, or use the objects in the Form Objects palette to add form elements to your web page. You can access the different Objects palettes in a number of ways:

• When the Objects palette is joined with the Tools palette, click the Object button at the top of the Objects palette to display a list of available palettes and then select the Objects you'd like to display (see Figure 34.4).

  Figure 34.4. The Objects palettes are also accessible in list form.

  

  
  

• You can also display and select Objects palettes from the palette options menu of the Objects palette, as shown in Figure 34.5.

All the objects in the Objects palettes are draggable and must be dragged onto your page before you can access them. If you want to insert an object, for example, right-click (in Windows) or Control-click (on the Mac) at the location where you want to insert the object and choose Insert Object from the context menu, as shown in Figure 34.6. You can also choose Special, Insert from the menu at the top of the screen.
