Minimize the Properties Box

In this tip I first introduce you to the power of the Lotus Notes Properties Box.   Today I want to explain how you can use a minimized version of the property box to easily access several formatting features.

To minimize the Properties Box you can either double click anywhere along the title bar (the left arrow shown below) or you can click on the minimize icon on the right hand side of the title bar.

The result will be a smaller version of the properties box, which allows you to format text, create tables, insert pictures, and even toggle the yellow text highlighter on and off.  (my favourite part, since there is no toolbar icon for the highlighters)
