The Workspace contains three or, when a Web section is open, four tabs. To switch between
the tabs, click on the tab at the bottom, or select View > Design View, Preview View or Source
View on the menu.
For an overview of keyboard shortcuts, see "Keyboard shortcuts" on page427.
Design tab
The Design tab shows the template including all styles, text and images as well as the
placeholders used for variable data. In this tab, the template's scripts are not executed and only
placeholders are shown.
The top of the Design tab contains an area with the following options and buttons:
l
Breadcrumbs: Displays the element type where the cursor is located and any of its
parent elements. Elements with classes or IDs show these details next to them, for
instance div #contents > ol.salesitems > li. Click on an element in the
Breadcrumbs to select it.
When an element is selected in the breadcrumbs and the Backspace or Delete key is
pressed, that element is deleted.
If the deleted element was targeted by a script, you will be asked if you want to delete the
script as well.
l
Context Selector: Displays the current context. The drop-down lists available contexts.
Clicking on a context switches to that context.
l
Section Selector: Displays the currently active section. Clicking on another section
switches to that section.
l
Media Selector (Master Page editor only): Displays a list of Media resources. Clicking on
a media will display its Virtual Stationery background while in Preview mode.
l
Zoom Level: Displays the current zoom level and drops-down to change the level.
l
