TIP 8: Finding Palettes


We've shown how to take charge of your palettes by stashing, docking, and twirling them, but let's not forget an even more fundamental function: finding them. Where are the rest of the palettes hiding? They're in the Window menu, of course! Simply choose Window and then select the name of the palette you want to open from the list (Figure 8).

Alphabetical Order

The Window menu in GoLive CS2 is sorted alphabetically like the rest of the Creative Suite applications. The only exceptions are that toolbars are grouped at the top, open windows are listed at the bottom, and palettes for Site, Swatches, and QuickTime are grouped into submenus. This alphabetical listing makes it so much easier to find those missing palettes and seldom-used features.


Notice that plenty of palettes have keyboard shortcuts associated with them, so when you become familiar with which palettes are used for which tasks, you'll be able to invoke your favorite palette by pressing its keyboard shortcut.

Also nested in the Window menu are options for Workspaces (see Tip 9) and for Cascade and Tile. Choose Window > Cascade and Tile > Cascade to place all open Windows in a neat stack; choosing Window > Cascade and Tile > Tile Horizontally (or Vertically) lines all of the open windows up next to one another.
