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). Figure 8. There's a plethora of palettes in the Window menu.
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. |
