The Document Console Interface: Viewing Options in
Document Console
Switching
between Half-Screen and Full-Screen views
The
A&L Document Console facilitates document
viewing by giving the user the option of changing the viewing
window displayed to from half-screen to full screen size.
The FULL-SCREEN icon is a toggle
switch with the HALF-SCREEN icon. (Click the icon again to return to half-screen size.)
The FULL-SCREEN icon extends
the document-viewing portion of the screen to the full screen
width. It automatically resizes the viewing screen, allowing
you to immediately see the document. Scroll bars appear
to the side and bottom of the window, allowing you to scroll
through the parts of the document not showing in the window.
Clicking the mouse on the icon again will return the screen
back to the Outline window and the document will be displayed
in its former, half-screen viewing size. You can click on
the down arrow size indicator box on the toolbar to choose
a different size for the document you are viewing.
In both the half-screen size and full-screen size, you are
free to enlarge the document from the "Fit" to
screen size (default) to enlarging by as much as 300%. If
you return to viewing the document in a half-screen window
after you have enlarged it, the document will remain in
its enlarged or changed viewing size. Re-sizing of course
does not change the actual size of the document, it only
changes the viewing size on the screen.
Viewing Size Options
You can view any selected document in numerous sizes. The
viewing size of the selected document is displayed at the
bottom of the screen, beside the page number indicator field.
Clicking the mouse on the viewing size field at the bottom
left of the screen opens a dialog box that allow you to
change the viewing size from 1% to 400% of its original
size in the viewing screen. You can use the enhanced keyboard
arrow keys to increase (right or down) or decrease (left
or up) the viewing size one percent at a time. You can also
enter in a percentage in the numeric field manually, or
use the mouse to move the slider to the desired level. This
function works in either full or half screen viewing mode.
Once the document is on the screen, you can click the mouse
directly on the document to increase (left mouse button)
or decrease (right mouse button) viewing size ten percent
at a time. The sizes range from 10% and Fit (meaning, sized
to fit in the present window) to 400%.
