Using View Screen Buttons

There are three page viewing mode buttons underneath the "Quit" button. These are:-

•Normal view - this displays the page as optimized for normal viewing on the screen

•Printer Preview (Full) - this displays the full page as it would be printed

•Printer Preview (Zoomed) - this displays the page as it would be printed, but zoomed enough to allow its full width or height to fit in to the available space, and allowing the rest of the page to be viewed by scrolling

Note: Page designs may contain multiple page sizes. If the page design you are using contains different information in its page sizes for screen as opposed to its printer page sizes, then you will see this difference reflected when you change viewing modes. See Editing a Page Design File for information on using the Page Designer.

Note: If the page design you are displaying contains only printer sized pages, then the Normal view button will be hidden.

The other buttons are:-

•ReDraw - This option causes the displayed page to be redrawn according to the current settings and display options.

•Swap - This option is only available for page displays involving two or more charts. It causes the displayed charts to be swapped or cycled. For example, if you are displaying a biwheel, then the inner and outer charts are swapped. If you are viewing a quadriwheel, then each time you use this option, the innermost chart moves to the outermost position, and the others charts are moved inwards correspondingly.

•Rectify - This allows you to easily and interactively edit the date, time, Ascendant, Midheaven, latitude or longitude of the chart (or of the first or innermost chart on the page if there are multiple charts). It is described fully in Adjusting a Chart to a new Time or Date.

•Save - This allows the displayed chart to be saved to a file. It is fully described in Saving Charts to a File.

•Reports - This invokes the Reports screen, which is fully described in Generating Chart Reports.

•Transits - This invokes the Dynamic Report Selection screen, which is fully described in Using Dynamic Reports and Time Maps.

•Copy/Send - This invokes a “Copy Image To” dialog that allows you to select whether to send the currently displayed image to the clipboard, to a file, or to an email attachment, with various selectable options. See Copying, Publishing and Sending Graphics.

•Print - This allows the displayed image to be sent to your printer, or to the print queue for printing later. You can also alter printer settings before printing, if desired.

•Pages – This displays the “Page Selection by Topic” dialog, allowing you to select other page types to preview or display.

•Charts – This displays the chart selection dialog, allowing you to select alternative charts to be displayed with the currently displayed page type. Note: You can also edit the charts events or comments from thisdialog, by using a right hand mouse click to bring up a pop-up menu when hovering over any chart in the list.

•Wheel Style – If the currently displayed page has only one wheel type displayed, then this will display the "File Manager" with a list of wheel style files that you can select for this wheel type. If there is more than one wheel type displayed on the current page (e.g. a uniwheel and a biwheel), then this will display the Chart Options menu, from which you can choose one of the wheel style types.

TIP: to quickly exit from the "View Chart" window press the ESC short-cut key.
