The arrow indicates that this button has additional functions. Many toolbar buttons are marked with a small arrow beside the button. See Chapter 4 (Menus and Toolbars) for more information. Each toolbar has a different list of buttons. On the View > Toolbars menu, select Customize, click on the Toolbars tab, select the toolbar you want to change, and then select the desired buttons for that toolbar. You can also select the buttons that you wish to appear on the corresponding toolbar. On the menu that appears, choose which toolbars you want to display. To display or hide the toolbars, click View > Toolbars. The various Draw toolbars can be displayed or hidden according to your needs. For example, many people put the main Drawing toolbar on the left-hand side of the workspace, not at the bottom as shown here. You can vary the number and position of the visible tools, so your setup may look a bit different. It is surrounded by toolbars and information areas.

The large area in the center of the window is where the drawings are made.
