Step #1: |

·
Rest the pointer on a tool icon
without clicking or pressing the
mouse button. This will display the
tool’s name. |
 |
|
|
|
Step #2: |
|
|
A small triangle in the lower right
corner of a tool icon indicates that
there are other tools hidden under
that tool.
·
Hold the mouse button down over the
tool icon. This will open a pop-up
list of hidden tools. |
 |
|
A small rectangle to the left of the
tool name denotes the active tool on
the list. |
