Control the Display of Menus on the Menu Bar

Menus and the order in which they are displayed on the menu bar can only

be controlled through the Workspace Contents pane. By default the menu

bar is not displayed when the ribbon is. Set the system variable MENUBAR to

1 to display the menu bar above the ribbon. You can also set the Menu Bar

property for a workspace to On to display the menu bar each time a workspace

is set current. For information about creating and editing pull-down menus,

see Pull-down and Shortcut Menus on page 212 under Customize User Interface

Elements on page 139.

Control the Display of Palettes

You set up a workspace to control the display, position, and appearance of

palettes in the application window. They can be floating or docked. Unlike

ribbon panels, ribbon tabs, and menus, palettes are available in any workspace.

You can turn palettes on or off with a workspace. The display properties of

palettes are modified through the Workspace Contents and Properties pane.

For information about controlling palettes with workspaces, see Control the

Appearance of Palettes on page 312.
