Key Points for Using the Properties Palette
■ The Properties palette differs from a traditional dialog box interface in that it can remain open
while you are using other commands.
■ Other methods are available for editing an object's properties, but the Properties palette provides
a common interface for changes to different object types and to the properties of multiple objects
simultaneously.
■ Click the Auto-hide icon on the Properties palette (shown in the following illustration) to make the
palette collapse when the cursor moves away from it.
