Indesign CS2 palettes

[Gaussian]

Is there a way to have the palette names horizontally, instead of vertically, because the person who come up with this idea quite obviously didn't sleep well the night before.? ?[confused]

I'll be able to answer this tomorrow Gaussian. I'm going to dinner tonight with a friend who has CS2 on his machine. I have CS. I know that the pallets are customizable in Illustartor CS2 into a 'task' / 'job info' bar, but I have no clue about In Design. I think that the 'POP- IN and OUT' from the side, is a good idea. especially for 2-page spread work and imposing. How would you have that feature with horizontal text? Unless you docked at the bottom.

I don't mind the pop-in-out ronmatt, because that's just a matter of pressing shift+tab like in Photoshop/Illustrator or F4 in Dreamweaver, but what I do mind are the vertical palette descriptions; I'm constantly turning my head to read what it says and everybody around here asks me why I have my left ear on my shoulder all the time.?

Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, Photoshop, none of these programs use vertical descriptions and in my opinion this was done for an obvious reason.

So if your friend knows of a way to change this, that would be great!?

grab the individual tabs and pull them out and they become floating pallettes as in ver 2 then name the workspace. You make them go away the old fashion way 'tab' screenshot is CS but it works the same in CS2
