Q: My preview does not have the tool bar described in the support page
I am on Yosemite 10.10.2. My preview does not have the tool bar described in this support document:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201740
Software Update says my system is up to date. How do I get the latest Preview described here? If I could get the features described on this support page, it would be awesome.
I have been struggling with the Preview that came with Yosemite. When I add text it is always justified and I can't change any style properties. Preview always opens without thumbnails, but I want thumbnails.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Barney-15E, thanks for pointing out the A icon to change the style of text that I create. I overlooked that completely.
Eric Root, what I meant was that I want preview to always open in Thumbnail mode. But I think I figured that one out. There is a Preview Preference tab for PDF which has an option of "Always show sidebar" when Opening for the first time.
It was helpful but perplexing to know from Barney-15E that Preview support docs are not up to date. Except, I never saw such features in Preview, so maybe that doc is a description of things to come?
While googling around, I also found many people had the same complaint I do about another feature: the Text box always positions in the middle of the page, rather than where you first click on the document. Apparently I'm not the only one who found Preview really lacking with the Yosemite release. Someone even figured out how to install the prior Preview 7.0 version...
Thanks for your help!
