Access
The contextual palette is displayed when you right-click one of the icons in the graphical object palette.
The palette contains all the graphical objects with the same basic graphical object as the graphical object under the mouse pointer when you click the right button, except the object under the pointer.
Each graphical object is represented by an icon. A help Tooltip containing a text describing the object appears when the mouse pointer is moved over an icon.
If the palette contains too many objects, two buttons are displayed in the contextual palette's title bar. These buttons let you access the objects before and after the ones shown.
You can select a graphical object in the contextual palette by clicking the relevant icon.
The contextual palette behaves like a context-sensitive menu:
it cannot be resized,
it disappears when an icon is selected or when it loses the focus (selection aborted).
When an object is selected, the contextual palette disappears and returns control to the graphical object palette. The object's icon appears after the Place properties icon 
; it is selected. The mouse pointer assumes the appearance of this icon, letting you place the graphical object in a layout.
