A document consists of text (often with graphics) and <A HREF="prefmenu.htm#links">links</A> to other documents, graphics, sound files, video clips, etc.
<BR>
Links are differentiated by being a different colour from the rest of the text, or by having a border. You can also choose to display them in other ways. If you click with the right mouse button in a document window, a menu will be displayed. The menu is related to where in the window you click. If you click on a graphic, you will see the graphics menu, if you click on a link, you will see the link menu, and if you click on neither of these you will see a default menu. You can scroll the document using the scroll bard to the right and beneath the window. You can also scroll using the keyboard (arrow keys, PageUp, PageDown , HOME and END). If you never use the scroll bars you can turn them off with <B>CONTROL + F7</B>. Opera remembers whether the scroll bars are on or off when you save the window set-up. In addition you can configure the windows to start up without these bars as default.

This button is used to stop transfer of a document. You stop the transfer by clicking on the button. A transfer can also be stopped by clicking on a link in the document while you are loading it. The transfer stops and the document pointed to by the link will be fetched. In addition you can also use the <B>ESCAPE</B> key (often only labelled <B>ESC</B>) to stop the loading of a document.

<A NAME="image_control"><B>Image Control</B></A>
<BR>
By clicking on this button you can control whether <U>images should be loaded and displayed</U>, <U>only loaded images</U> should be displayed or <U>no images</U> should be loaded and displayed. The status is displayed on the button itself. If there is a red cross on the button, no images will be loaded or displayed. If there is a green cross on the button, only loaded images are displayed. If there is no cross over the button all figures will be loaded and displayed. The status can also be changed using the '<B>g</B>' key or <B>CONTROL + F12</B> on the keyboard.
Here is displayed how much of the document being fetched has been loaded. If the size is known, the progress is displayed in percentages, otherwise the number of bytes or kilobytes (a unit for quantities of data) that have been loaded . The document can contain figures, sound and other elements - the progress of loading these is displayed elsewhere.
Two numbers are shown here - the one to the right shows how many extra elements (normally figures) have been found in the document and remain to be loaded. The one to the left shows how many have already been loaded.

Here you can see the address of the document which is being displayed, By choosing the arrow next to the address you can display the addresses of the documents you have retrieved earlier. If you select one of these addresses and then press the Return key, you can quickly retrieve the chosen document again. You can also type <A HREF="dialogs.htm#direct">addresses</A> directly. You choose the number of documents to be remembered in <A HREF="prefmenu.htm#generic">Generic preferences</A>.

<A NAME="scaling"><B>Scaling / Zoom</B></A>
<BR>
Opera can scale the complete contents of a document. You can also choose to <A HREF="prefmenu.htm#fonts">only scale the text</A>. Here you can also choose font and colours. Opera can scale documents from 20 - 1000%. You can type in the percentage directly or choose from a list. You can also use the keyboard for scaling by pressing the '<B>+</B>' key on the number pad you increase the scaling by 10%. Likewise if you use the '<B>-</B>' key the scaling is reduced by 10%. Repeated keystrokes change the scaling down to 20% or up to 1000%.
