Reply To: InDesign Tool Palette

It sounds as though your co-worker may be confusing “customizing” with installing a plug-in or plug-ins. The only way to customize the toolbar is to set it to either a single-column, single-row or two-column layout in Preferences > Interface > Panels > Floating Tools Panel.

I’m aware of only a couple of options that allow generation of charts in InDesign. One is a font (https://www.fontshop.com/families/ff-chartwell), and the other is a script solution (https://www.indiscripts.com/post/2010/06/claquos2-pie-chart-builder-for-indesign), but I don’t think either adds any tools to the Tools panel.
