How do I use pop-up panels?

Pop-up panels appear when you click certain commands in the action bar. These panels let you enter additional information to complete a command or to set properties for text and objects. For example, by clicking Insert and then Table, a pop-up panel will let you enter how many columns and rows you would like in the table. Also, clicking Image brings up the Insert Image panel which lets you specify which image you want to insert into the document.
