Using the Dock

The Dock makes it easy to open applications, documents and other items you use frequently. You can add icons to the Dock for applications, files, folders, servers, and web sites. Dock preferences are stored in your roaming profile and accessible from any Macintosh cluster computer.

To add an item, drag its icon from the Finder window to the Dock. Application icons go to the left of the line and all other icons to the right.  To open an item, click its icon.

To change the location or appearance of the dock, click the Apple menu and select Dock.

Note: If a question mark appears on the dock, the application is not on that machine or is stored in a different location on that Macintosh. To remove the question marks from the dock drag them onto the desktop.
