@CHAPTER HEAD = USER INTERFACE<$IUser interface>
@MAJOR HEADING = <$&WYSIWYG[v]>WYSIWYG
Corel Ventura is designed to provide What You See (on the screen)
Is What You Get printed (WYSIWYG). This means that the computer display
should match as closely as possible, at all times, what you will see
on the final printed page. Of course, the difference between the technology
used to display a page on a CRT screen, and the technologies used
to print a page on a laser printer or typesetter, do create some unavoidable
differences. In particular, because the computer CRT screen cannot
produce anywhere near the same resolution of a printer or typesetter,
and because what is displayed is shown in a different <$IAspect ratio>aspect
ratio (height to width ratio), the space between words and between
lines may appear to be bigger or smaller than the printed page under
certain circumstances. Several thin ruling lines, with little space
between, may show on the screen as one thick line.
@MINOR HEADING = Keyboard Keys
Various keys on the keyboard perform special functions:
@BULLET = The keyboard Cursor keys control the Text Cursor (The text
cursor is displayed as a thin vertical line.)
@BULLET = The Home key goes to the first page of the document.
@BULLET = The End key goes to the last page of the document.
@BULLET = The Pg Up key goes to the previous page.
@BULLET = The Pg Dn key goes to the next page.

@MINOR HEADING = Description
The display shown in Figure 10-2 is called an Item Selector. The Item
Selector is used for saving and retrieving files.
@MINOR HEADING = Application
The Item Selector allows you to save and retrieve files by pointing
to the file name, or by typing the file name.
The Item Selector also provides a simple way to move between various
DOS subdirectories (sometimes called folders) where text, Line Art,
Image, chapter, and publication files may be stored.
Finally, the Item Selector automatically <169>filters<170> the files
displayed so that you need only search for files which match specified
criteria. For instance, only chapter files (which are stored with
a file extension CHP) are displayed when loading or saving chapters.
The method for filtering the files to be displayed follows standard
DOS conventions, including wildcard characters (e.g. * and ?). These
filters can be changed by placing the text cursor on the Directory
line and typing a new filter name. Figure 10-2 shows the filter set
to only display chapter (CHP) files that are contained in the subdirectory
called TYPESET.
@WARNING = <$IShortcut;Mouse double-click><$IMouse;Double- click>Pointing
to the desired file name, holding the mouse stationary, and pressing
the mouse button twice, with little hesitation between each depression
<169>double-click<170>, is equivalent to selecting the file name and
then selecting OK.
If you only need one or two symbols within a paragraph, Tag the paragraph
with a non-symbol typeface. Select the one or two characters you wish
to change to a symbol with the Text cursor. Change them using the
Font Settings button. For instance, to put a <F128M>p<F255D> in the formula
@SYSTEM PROMPT = <F128M>p<F255D>r2
type the letter p, then select this letter and use the Font Settings
button to change this one letter to a symbol font.
