CHAPTER 2 Working with Libraries

Opening and previewing objects
You can open and preview objects in the current library.
❖ To open an object:
• In either the Tree view or the List view, double-click the object, or select
Edit from the object’s pop-up menu.
InfoMaker takes you to the painter for that object and opens the object.
You can work on the object and save it as you work. When you close it,
you return to the Library painter.
You can run forms and preview reports from the Library painter.
❖ To preview an object in the Library painter:
• Select Run/Preview from the object’s pop-up menu.
Copying, moving, and deleting objects
As your needs change, you may want to rearrange the objects in libraries. To
do that, you need to be able to copy and move objects between libraries or
delete objects that you no longer need.
❖ To copy or move objects using drag and drop:
1 In the Tree view or the List view, select the objects you want to copy or
move.
2 Press Shift to move the entries.
Otherwise, the objects will be copied.
3 Drag the objects to a library in either view (or if the contents of a library
are displayed in the List view, you can drop the objects there).
If copying, InfoMaker replicates the objects. If moving, InfoMaker moves
the objects and deletes them from the source library. If an object with the
same name already exists, InfoMaker prompts you and, if you allow it,
replaces the existing object with the copied or moved object.
❖ To copy or move objects using a button or menu item:
1 Select the objects you want to copy or move to another library.
