Showing, Hiding, and Moving the Text Palette

Normally the Text Palette appears automatically when you edit a caption. You can turn this behavior on or off using the Text panel of Preferences. To show or hide the Text Palette manually, choose Show Text Palette or Hide Text Palette from the Display menu.

If you’re using a Windows computer, the Text Palette normally appears attached (or docked ) to the bottom of the Sketchpad application window. You can drag it to a different position and leave it either floating or docked to the top or bottom of the window. If you’re using a Macintosh computer, the Text Palette always floats above or beside your document and can be repositioned by dragging its title bar.

On either kind of computer, when the Text Palette is floating, you can hide it by clicking its Close box, and you can move it to a different position on the screen by dragging its title bar.
