Tips:

• Each window has a JMP menu and toolbar. 
• To view a hidden menu click Alt, or hover on the report window where the menu would normally appear.
• To have menus and toolbars always display, go to File > Preferences > Windows Specific and change Auto-hide menus and toolbars from Based on window size to Never.
