I'm using version 2007 21.0.0.

There is no 'Properties panel' it doesn't show up if I reset the workspace 'Essentials' nor does it appear in the Window drop downlist.

I can't update myself as it is all controlled by corporate IT.

Is there a way to solve this other than updating?

Thanks for your help.

Correct answer Monika Gause

In different parts of the application: the preferences dialog box, several panels, the tools options and the control panel.

the answer is {drumroll please} on some installs its not a widow its part of the upper toolbar. Just above the document tabs.

Hiding in plain sight. everything thats in the properties window is right there. when I started the tutorials it stupid my bad. If you study the screen of the tutorial you will notice that you have a extra menu bar just above the stage its your properties

The answer is that the properties panel has been introduced in version 22.

The control panel is something else.

I have version 22.0.1 and do not have the Properties panel.
I'm new to Illustrator and was used to such a feature in AutoCAD.
I have tried everything I can think of to find it, windows, preference settings, no sign of it.

The only way I seem to be able to keep handy toolbars around is in Layout. I'm just not getting used to Essentials.
I hope someone can help.

Edit: could this be an OS thing? I'm still on Windows 7--need to wait to get 10 (which I don't really want) until my institution updates.
