CHAPTER 2
Making the Switch from PageMaker to InDesign
The Control palette, which is located at the bottom
of the application window in PageMaker, is docked
at the top of the application window in InDesign.
Other palettes, such as the Pages, Swatches, and
Stroke palettes, are collapsed into tabs at the side of
the application window (Windows) or screen
(Mac OS).
You can customize the layout of the toolbox and
palettes. To prevent the Welcome screen from
appearing when InDesign starts, deselect the Show
This Dialog at Startup option. You can display it
again by choosing Help > Welcome Screen.
For more information about working with
palettes, tools, and menus, see InDesign Help.
Using the tools
The InDesign toolbox includes all the tools found
in PageMaker, plus additional tools for drawing
and laying out pages, stroke and fill proxies, and
icons for previewing your document in one of four
preview modes.
