Using the View and Windows features of the Gobe Productive suite, you can customize how pages and documents are displayed on the screen.
The View feature of Gobe Productive allows you to view a document in two different modes, page-view and normal. In page-view mode, the document appears on the screen as a full, laid-out page. The margins and page dimensions are accurately displayed. In the normal view, only the text, graphics, and frames in a document are shown.
The example above is in page-view mode. The application
displays the document as it appears on a printed page. Notice how the margins on
each side of the page are shown.
In the normal viewing mode, only the items in the document are
displayed. Notice in the example above how no margins or extra white space is
displayed.
The Window feature of Gobe Productive allows you to create multiple
windows of the same document or frame. This feature can be extremely useful if you
have a large document or one with many sheets. You can create new windows of a
document and have each window display different sheets.
Windows allow you to open multiple views of the same document. You can also select a frame and open it into its own window. All windows are "live-linked" to one another, therefore changes made in one window are made to all windows.
The Open Frame feature allows you to select any frame in your document and open the contents of that frame into a separate window. This can be useful if you need to edit the contents of a particularly large frame.
Frame windows are somewhat limited in their functionality because they are "live-linked" to the original document window. You can format the items in the frame including editing text, cells, or graphics. However, many document features such as headers and footers and setting margins are not available. For more information about frames, please see the Frames and Graphic Items topic.
The document is zoomed out so that all pages in the document are visible. To return to the normal view (100%), click on the Zoom Tool at the bottom left of your document.
If more than one Gobe Productive document window is open, you can cycle through the windows or tile them on the desktop.
