Normal/full screen modes
In normal screen mode part of the window is occupied by the title bar, menu bar, and
scroll bars. This can be inconvenient if you want the maximum possible editing area.
Page & Layout Designer has a second screen mode, fullscreen, which displays a more
streamlined screen. You can configure each screen mode as you wish. For example,
each can have its own configuration of the control bars. The configuration is
remembered and applies whenever you swap between screen modes.
Normal/full screen is controlled by "
WINDOW" > "FULL SCREEN" or right click and
choose
FULL SCREEN ("8" on the numeric keypad).
To display the menu bar in full screen mode, move the pointer to the top of the
screen.
Opening a second window
You may want to open a second window onto the same document to:
• Get an enlarged or reduced view of the document;
• Show another part of the document;
• Have two views of the same area at different quality settings (quality settings are
described later.)
Choose "
WINDOW" > "NEW VIEW" to open another window. You can have several
windows open on the same document.
Changing the zoom value
It’s often useful to enlarge your view of the document to examine details or reduce
your view to get an overall impression. Scalings above 100% show an enlarged view
(similar to looking through a magnifying glass); below 100% a reduced view. The only
change is your view of the document; the size of the document itself and the objects
in it are unchanged (changing the document size is described later). To change the
zoom value you can use either the
ZOOM TOOL, mouse, or control bars.
Some shortcuts are available for quick setting of zoom values: The plain numeric keys
(1, 2, 3, 4) set the zoom to between 100% and 400%. The number 5 key sets it to
50%.
Using the Zoom Tool
To zoom:
• Select the
ZOOM TOOL from the Main Toolbar.
