# Chapter 3. Fundamentals

This section desribes what you see in the main PostScript viewer window, the actions of the toolbar buttons and how to use the page list.

You can open multiple PostScript viewer windows to view multiple documents. The window title bar shows you the name of the document in that window. The tools and text fields that help you to navigate a document may be hidden in order to give more space on the screen to the content area.

# 3.1. Window summary

Window title bar

  The name of a document is displayed in the window title bar.

Page display

  The content area displays a page of the current document. If the page is too large to fit inside the window, scroll bars are automatically added to the sides of the display.

Tool bar

  Tool bar buttons activate the PostScript viewer features you'll most commonly use. Click on the buttons to move through the document, to change the view and to mark and print pages. You can choose to have the toolbar on any side of the contents area. Click with the right mouse button on the toolbar handle to select the position you want. You can also hide the toolbar from the options menu.

Status bar

  The status bar has four fields showing the current page, magnification factor, orientation and file name of the document. You can choose to hide the status bar from the options menu.

Page list

  A page list can be shown down the left side of the page display. This list has three columns: the first may contain a flag indicating that the page has been marked; the second shows the page shape; and the third contains the page number. You may use this page list to navigate the document or to select pages for printing.
