Where is CS5 Text Menu Located?

I can't for the life of me find the Text Menu in CS5. Yes, there are a few options in the bar above (font, size, etc.), but isn't there a box with more options? If so, where is this? Maybe it's so obvious I've missed it. :D

Thanks!

    Hey Andy, how do you make those neat straight arrows too? Mine are always curly cued.

    Something that will help in general, and text is a good example, is the options bar at the top of the screen is always a subset of what is in a more dedicated palette. For any feature, whenever you see that icon Andy circled on the right, clicking it leads to more specific options. In this case, the options bar currently contains a subset of what's in the Character and Paragraph palettes, so clicking the icon opens the palettes themselves. The reason they put the subset of tool-relevant features in the options bar is to minimize the number and size of palettes you have to constantly open.

    Thank you, good to know.
    The Menu Bar>Window>Character was what I was after, but no matter what I tried, couldn't find it.
