This is ridiculous. So at my workstudy job I usually do mundane office tasks. Except my new boss doesn't have the design background of my old boss. So she's asking me to edit something in InDesign, a program I haven't really used before.

Here's the issue:
You know the icon menus you use to do basic things like crop, draw a line, draw a circle etc.? (I don't know their official name.) Same as in Photoshop.

Well, on some of them you can click on the little triangle in the bottom right corner and it will give you different options (click on draw a square and you'll have options for a circle and an oval, etc.)

For some reason on this computer those are frozen. When I click there's no response. When I go to help they say click there, but clicking there doesn't work.

Does anyone know what mysterious preference menu controls this function? The previous user of the computer is not available (it took me ages to figure out how to unlock the thing so I could use the arrow keys to navigate between cells in Excel).

Please help.

(Oh look a bunch of the lettering is in custom designed font. I wonder if I can make a 9 from scratch using design tools. I think I'm going to cry. Oh, their graphic design intern is injured and can't work, if you know anyone who would be interested let me know.)
