Operation Manual

36 | Developing Sites and Pages
To move or copy an object between pages via the pasteboard:
1. Drag the object from the source page onto the pasteboard (hold down the
Ctrl key to copy).
2. Display the target page (see "Switching between pages" below).
3. Drag (or Ctrl-drag to copy) the object from the pasteboard onto the target
page.
WebPlus makes it easy to see exactly what you're working on—from a wide
view of a whole page to a close-up view of a small region. For example, you
can use the scroll bars at the right and bottom of the main window to move
the page and pasteboard with respect to the main window. The view
automatically re-centres itself as you drag objects to the edge of the screen.
The View toolbar at the top of the screen provides the Pan Tool as an
alternative way of moving around, plus a number of buttons that let you zoom
in and out so you can inspect and/or edit the page at different levels of detail.
Hint: If you’re using a wheel mouse, spinning the wheel scrolls
vertically. Shift-spin to scroll horizontally and Ctrl-spin to zoom in or
out!
Switching between pages
WebPlus provides a variety of ways of getting quickly to the part of your site
you need to work on. The Studio’s Site tab provides a central "control panel"
including both the Site Structure tree, which depicts the hierarchy of pages
in your site (see Understanding site structure and navigation on p.
31), and
icons for each of the site’s master pages. The Site tab lets you switch between
pages, and view or set page properties.
The Site Structure dialog (click the
Site Structure button) affords similar
tree-based functionality, and the HintLine's Page Locator offers yet another
convenient method of jumping to a particular page.
Selecting vs. viewing a page: Single-clicking
a page/master page entry
merely selects the page, which you might do for example if you were about to
delete it by right-clicking. To actually view the associated page/master page
you need to double-click
an entry or use one of the methods noted below.
Feedback from the entry tells you whether it’s currently viewed and/or
selected, i.e.
