Page View

The page view looks like a simple browser, but it's actually a WYSIWYG editor, just like a simple word processor. It is built on several main precepts:

• Direct manipulation - there aren't any hidden dialog boxes requiring expert knowledge. To manipulate any object, it's usually sufficient to just manipulate the selection handles or to double-click the object.
• Drag and drop - you can drag text or graphics from any other pages, and from any other Macintosh application that supports drag &drop! (The Apple Scrapbook, for example.)

• The row of buttons along the top give you direct controls for formatting and inserting objects.
• The edit/preview toggle button flips you between editing the page and previewing it (i.e. following the links). You will use this button a lot, so we've made it big and easy to hit!
• The title field can be typed into at any time. (Of course, you can just drag & drop text to it, too.)
• The document proxy is used for linking. Make sure to read about linking to learn more about this!
• The Link Display Bar both displays the address of a link, and also lets you type in external URL addresses directly (just click into it!).
