Customizing toolbars

To customize the form, location, and contents of a toolbar, you can use the Customize dialog box (Windows) or the Customize Toolbars dialog box (Macintosh). You can also drag toolbar buttons.

Note: Disabled buttons cannot be moved or deleted.

 
To customize toolbars using the Customize command:

1	Select Window > Toolbars > Customize. (Alternatively, in Windows you can select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and click the Toolbars tab.)
	Toolbars tab in the Customize dialog box (Windows)
	Customize Toolbars dialog box (Macintosh)
2	Do one of the following to select the command you want to add:
	Scroll through the Commands list to find the command whose button you want to place on a toolbar. If necessary, click the plus (+) sign (Windows) or the triangle (Macintosh) to expand categories.
	If the command is not in a FreeHand menu, expand the Tools/Commands category.
	Click a menu or menu command to highlight the associated buttons.
	Click a button to highlight the associated menu command.
	The Commands list replicates all FreeHand menus, with some additional features.
3	Drag the button from the Customize Toolbars dialog box to the desired location on a toolbar.
	If necessary, existing buttons move to make room for the new button.

 
To remove a button from a toolbar, do one of the following:

	Select Window > Toolbars > Customize, and drag the button off the toolbar.
	Hold down Alt (Windows) or Command (Macintosh), and drag the button off the toolbar.

Note: You cannot undo this procedure once you drag the button off the toolbar, but you can put a button back using the Customize command. For more information, see the previous procedure.

To customize toolbars by dragging tool buttons:

To move any button from one toolbar to another, hold down Alt (Windows) or Command (Macintosh), and drag the button to the desired location on the other toolbar.

 
To duplicate a button for placement on more than one toolbar:

Hold down Alt+Control (Windows) or Option+Command (Macintosh), and drag the button to the second location.

 
To move a docked toolbar onto the pasteboard:

Drag the gray area of a docked toolbar onto the pasteboard.

A highlight indicates where the toolbar will be dropped if you release the toolbar at that location. The toolbar becomes a resizable floating toolbar when dropped beyond the toolbar area.

 
To dock a floating toolbar onto the top, bottom, or side toolbar area:

Drag the gray area of the floating toolbar onto the top, bottom, or side toolbar area.

A highlight indicates where the toolbar will be dropped if you release the toolbar at that location. The floating toolbar becomes a regular toolbar when dropped in the area surrounding the pasteboard.
