David, I tried the standard template to no avail. I also opened the file on my home computer and moved the find and select dialogue box to the upper right inside the drawing area and it still does not show. What is bizarre is that I work on a 30" display at home and when I open the same file on my 15" laptop there are no problems: why is a 24" imac not showing all of the palettes? I have emailed my reseller but have not gotten a response.
thanks,
