Adjusting pane width and height

The Help viewer displays several tabs at the left and right sides of the window, as well as tabs at the bottom (if you select Output View from the View menu). You can adjust the height and widths of any of these panes to make them smaller or larger.

Additionally, when you have the Index Designer or Glossary Designer open, you'll notice that the pane is split in two. You can also adjust these panes.

To adjust panes:

  1. Place the pointer over the edge of the pane that you want to adjust.

    The pointer turns into a line with arrows on each end Robohtml00090003.gif Robohtml00090004.gif.

  2. Press the left mouse button and drag up, down, left or right. The pane is resized after you release the mouse button.

    The program maintains these settings until you adjust the panes again.

 

Tips:

  • You can close the left-hand tabs if you want to maximize the window size when working with topics in the WYSIWYG Editor (or any other right-hand component.) From the View menu, clear Left Hand View. To display the left-hand components, select this option.

  • Whenever you compile a Help project, an output pane opens at the bottom of the window. You can open and close this pane whenever necessary. From the View menu, select or clear Output View.
