Use the Palette page of the Environment Options dialog box to customize the way the Component palette appears. You can rename, add, remove, or reorder pages and components.

Pages 
Lists the pages in the Component palette, in the order in which they currently appear. You can rearrange these pages or view and rearrange their components in the Components list. The last item in the Pages list is [All]; when you select [All], the Components list shows components from every page as well as hidden components. 
Components 
Lists the components on the currently selected Component palette page in the Pages list. Components may come from installed packages or they may be component templates created with the Component|Create Component Template command. Components appear in their current order on the palette. You can rearrange components, or move them to a different page by dragging them. When [All] is selected in the Pages list, you can sort by component name, package, or palette page by clicking on the appropriate column heading
