Docker windows

Docker windows offer another convenient way to edit graphics. They contain the same kinds of controls found in dialog boxes, such as buttons, options, and list boxes. However, unlike most dialog boxes, you can keep Docker windows open as you work.

In the procedure below, you'll add a thin outline to your name and then change the outline color of the rectangle and your name by using the Object properties Docker window.

1. Using the Pick tool , select your name on the stage.
2. Click Window Dockers Properties.
   The Object properties Docker window displays on the right side of the screen.
3. Click the Outline tab .
4. In the Width list box, type 3 px.
5. From the Width list box, choose 3 px.
6. Double-click the Pick tool to select all objects on the stage.
7. In the Object properties Docker window, open the Outline color picker, and click an orange color swatch.
   The outline color of the rectangle and the text changes to orange.

You can keep the Object Properties Docker window open as long as you need to, and you can collapse it, expand it, or close it when you want.

• To collapse the Docker window, click the double arrows at the top-left corner of the Docker window.
• To expand the Docker window, click the double arrows at the top of the Docker bar.
• To close the Docker window, click the X in the top-right corner of the Docker window.
