Choose
Edit > Preferences > Interface (Windows)
or InDesign > Preferences >
Interface (Mac OS).
Choose the settings you want to specify, and click OK.
- Tool Tips
- Tool tips appear when you hold the mouse pointer over interface items
such as tools in the toolbar and options in the Control panel. Choose
None to turn off tool tips.
- Show Thumbnails On Place
- When you place a graphic, a thumbnail of the image appears
in the loaded graphics cursor. Similarly, a thumbnail of the first few
lines of text appears in the loaded text cursor. Deselect this option
if you don’t want thumbnails to appear when placing graphics or
text.
- Show Transformation Values
- When you’re creating, sizing, or rotating an object, the
cursor displays the [x,y] coordinates, width and height, or rotation information.
- Enable Multi-Touch Gestures
- Select this option to allow Windows and Mac OS multi-touch
mouse gestures to work in InDesign. For example, when you use the Magic
Mouse in Mac OS, the swipe gesture scrolls up or down or moves to
the previous or next page or spread, and the rotate gesture rotates
the spread.
- Highlight Object Under Selection Tool
- Select this option to highlight the frame edges of objects
when the direct selection tool is moved over it.
- Floating Tools Panel
- Specify whether the toolbar appears as a single column, double
column, or single row.
- Auto-Collapse Icon Panels
- When this option is selected, clicking the document window
closes the open panel automatically.
- Auto-Show Hidden Panels
- When you hide panels by pressing Tab, holding the mouse pointer
over the side of the document window temporarily reveals the panels
if this option is selected. If this option is not selected, you
must press Tab again to display panels.
- Open Documents As Tabs
- When this option is deselected, documents you create or open
appear as floating windows rather than tabbed windows.
- Enable Floating Document Window Docking
- If this option is selected, you can dock floating documents
with each other as tabbed windows. If this option is deselected,
floating document windows aren’t docked with other document windows,
unless you hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while dragging.
- Hand Tool
- To control whether to greek text and images when you scroll
a document, drag the Hand Tool slider to the desired level of performance
versus quality.
- Live Screen Drawing
- Select an option to determine whether the image redraws as
you drag an object. If Immediate is selected, the image redraws
while you drag. If Never is selected, dragging an image moves only
the frame, and then image is moved when you release the mouse button.
If Delayed is selected, the image redraws only if you pause before
dragging. Delayed offers the same behavior as in InDesign CS4.
