You might try rebuilding your preferences. Try choosing Customize from the control panel menu, then open the Object section (click on the triangle next to Object), then make sure the Frame Fitting checkbox is turned on. The reason you see them in the Adobe videos is that they are captured when the screen is only about 1024 pixels wide. Here's what they look like on the default control panel (with a 1440 pixel wide screen): <img width="300" src="http://indesignsecrets.com/imgs/framefittingoptions.png" /> Joan, that is strange.

I deleted nearly everything and ended up with half an empty object control bar, and still no fitting features. Any other advice?

But it may be that, depending on the resolution of your monitor, there may not be room enough to display them. My MacBook Pro normally has a resolution of 1440 x 900. If I set it at 1024 x 768, I can't see the Fitting buttons. However, if you use the Customize Control Panel dialog box and turn off some of the other Object buttons, I can see them again. I'd suggest either increasing your monitor resolution (higher number) or turning off some of the other Object-related buttons. Kevin,

In Customize Control Panel all the Object items are checked but nowhere do I see icons to perform Fitting functions. Going to the Object>>Fitting menu each time is a pain.
