You can use flyouts
to group related commands together on a toolbar.
A
flyout is a set of commands nested under a single button on a toolbar.
Flyout buttons have a black triangle in the lower-right corner.
To create a flyout, you can start from scratch, or drag an existing
toolbar or drag pull-down menu onto a toolbar. When a pull-down
menu is dragged onto a toolbar, a new toolbar is created and a flyout
is created in the position that the pull-down menu was dropped onto
the toolbar.
The following table shows
the properties for the Zoom flyout as they appear in the Properties
pane.
