1 2 3 Above is the very top of the program. It is made up of three “strips.” Adobe calls strip number 1 the Application Bar, but the only application it really refers to is Adobe Bridge—an image organizer that makes it easy to import graphics into InDesign. The rest of the icons and drop downs pertain to how you see and organize the workspace. Strip number 2 is the Menu Bar. These are typical drop down menus such as File (New, Open, etc.) and Edit (Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.), as well as some menus that are specific to InDesign. Strip 3 is the Control Panel. This strip will change depending upon what object you are working with. When you are working with text, it looks and acts a lot like Microsoft Word, but with more powerful controls.
