Position the Control Bar
The Control Bar has two configurations: floating and docked. You can easily change from one configuration to another:
n To dock the Control Bar when it is floating: Drag the Control Bar's title bar to an edge, then release it when it snaps to the edge. (If the
Control Bar doesn't snap to an edge, there is already a docked tool bar at that edge; try another edge.)
n To float the Control Bar when it is docked: Move the cursor to the edge where the Control Bar is docked (to make it visible), then drag
the part of the Control Bar with no tools away from the edge.
n To move the Control Bar anywhere on the screen: Drag its title bar.
Resize the control bar
Resize the Control Bar to match your requirements:
n When docked: Move the cursor over the edge where the Control Bar is docked (to make it visible), then drag the edge of the Control
Bar farthest from the edge of the display. Two widths are available when docked along vertical edges and two heights when docked
along horizontal edges.
n When floating: Drag any side or corner of the Control Bar. Two heights are available for horizontal orientation and three widths for
vertical orientation.
Select tools and options
Tip: The little lines next to each tool indicate the tool's current width. One line indicates the narrowest width, while four lines
indicates the widest. To customize widths, see Define pen and highlighter widths.
