Format Bars

To access: View > Toolbars > Format Bar2

The Format Bars offer fast access to the property values of selected object(s), and some extra functionality not available in the Layout Bar (to avoid overcrowding). You can show or hide the Format Bars. By default there are two Format Bars: Font Bar and Format Bar2.

Note:

The Format Bars are customizable. Click the right mouse button on them to bring up the Customize Toolbar dialog box. By holding down the Ctrl key and clicking Reset, the individual Format Bar is restored to its default state.
