# Displaying and docking toolbars

Captivate contains many toolbars that provide easy access to commonly used features. You have a great deal of flexibility in selecting which toolbars are displayed and where they are located in the Captivate program window.

#### To enable and disable docking of toolbars:

This option lets you select toolbars, drag them within the program window, and place ("dock") them in new locations. The option is enabled by default, but you can disable it at any time.

1. From the Options menu, select Preferences.

2. Select or deselect the Enable docking option.

#### To show, hide, or change the location of the main toolbar:

The main toolbar is displayed along the top of the program window by default.

#### To show or hide the main toolbar:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the View menu, select or deselect Main Toolbar.

#### To move the main toolbar to a different location:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the View menu, select Main Toolbar Orientation and select either Left, Top, Right, or Bottom.

#### To show or hide captions on the toolbar:

Captions are small icons that represent common tasks, such as recording, saving, previewing, and publishing. The Captivate captions are displayed along the top of the program window, just below the menu bar, by default.

#### To show or hide the toolbar captions:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the View menu, select or deselect Captions on Toolbar.

#### To show or hide the object toolbar:

The object toolbar is displayed along the bottom of the program window by default.

#### To "float" a toolbar:

3. Click on the left or top edge of a toolbar until a four-point arrow appears; then drag the toolbar to an edge of the program window where it can dock, or to the middle of the program window where it can float. (If you want, you can always drag toolbars back to their original locations.)
