Control panel overview
The
Control panel offers quick access to options related to the objects
you select. By default, the Control panel is docked at the top of
the workspace.
Options displayed
in the Control panel vary depending on the type of object or tool
you select. For example, when you select a text object, the Control
panel displays text-formatting options in addition to options for
changing the color, placement, and dimensions of the object. When
a selection tool is active, you can access Document Setup and Preferences
from the Control panel.
