Displaying, arranging, resizing, and hiding windows
A Quattro Pro window displays a Quattro Pro file, or a file imported into Quattro Pro. While working in Quattro Pro, you can have several windows open. For example, suppose you are working with four different notebooks, each dealing with a quarterly report. You can display all four at once.
You can select which windows you want open, and how you want to view the data in those windows. In addition, there are several methods of rearranging windows on your desktop. You can also hide windows.
You can change how you view your notebook without changing the notebook itself. For example, you can use Draft view when quickly entering data, or you can use Page view when you want to change margins and see how information will fit on a printed page. You can also use Zoom to make the notebook display larger or smaller.
You can display actual formulas instead of formula results. You can also have Quattro Pro automatically display spreadsheet comments. Once a comment is displayed, you can move or copy it to a new cell.
You can create any number of views. When you create a new view of a notebook window, the duplicate window appears full size in front of other open windows, with cell A1 selected on the first spreadsheet.
To view different parts of the same notebook, you can duplicate the window or split the window into two panes. Panes can be split vertically or horizontally.
This is an example of splitting a window into two panes.
If window panes are synchronized, you can scroll both of them at once to compare the data in rows or columns. Vertically split panes scroll together vertically, and horizontally split panes scroll together horizontally. If you unsynchronize the panes, you can scroll the panes independently to display different parts of the notebook. You can also resize the panes.
