Changing the workspace

A workspace is a configuration of settings that specify how the various command bars, commands, and buttons are arranged when you open the application.

You can create, choose, and delete workspaces when you no longer need them. You can also import and export workspaces to and from other computers where Quattro Pro is used. For example, you may want a group of users to use a workspace with a similar look and feel.

While you can create your own workspaces, you can choose one of the following preset workspaces:

 
Quattro Pro mode — displays the default Quattro Pro workspace
 
Microsoft Excel mode — simulates the Microsoft Excel workspace by positioning the Quattro Pro features, including toolbars and menus, where the equivalent feature would be in Microsoft Excel. It also applies Microsoft Excel keyboard shortcuts to Quattro Pro features. For more information about using Microsoft Excel mode, see “Simulating the Microsoft Excel workspace.”
 
Lotus 1-2-3 mode — simulates the Lotus 1-2-3 workspace by labeling most Quattro Pro features, including toolbars and menus, using the equivalent Lotus 1-2-3 feature names. It also applies Lotus 1-2-3 keyboard shortcuts to Quattro Pro features.
 
Corel Quattro Pro 7 — displays the Corel Quattro Pro 7 workspace

You can also specify that a particular workspace displays when you start Quattro Pro. This allows you to choose a workspace before you start working in Quattro Pro.
