Ruler: The ruler helps you guide the layout of your text and graphics. For word processing documents, there is a ruler at the top. Graphic documents have rulers on the top and left side of the workspace.
Workspace: The workspace is the main working area. The Gobe Productive suite is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) environment. Items on the screen are exactly as they appear in a printed document. The workspace also changes to reflect the currently active environment. For a spreadsheet, the workspace contains rows and columns of cells, for graphics it contains a grid, and so forth.
Scroll Bars: Use the scroll bars to move up and down or side to side in the workspace. The scroll bars are only displayed when the contents of the workspace do not fit within the window.
Zoom Tool: Click the plus button (+) to zoom in, click the minus (-) button to zoom out. You can also tear-off the zoom tool to display a handy slider bar for controlling the zoom. Right (or Option) clicking on the + and - buttons increments the zoom by 1% rather than the defined intervals. Also, clicking on the zoom percentage text reverts the zoom to the previous setting.
Tool Tips: Tool Tips are short descriptions that appear when you place the cursor over buttons and indicators. Turn the Tool Tips on and off in the Preferences dialog.
The remaining topics in this section describe more elements of the Gobe Productive user interface.
