Viewing documents in Full Screen mode

You can view a document without having to see all the navigation features, such as toolbars, menus, and panels that are available on the interface. This lets you maximize the amount of data you can view at one time.

To use Full Screen mode in a document

•  

1. Open the document in Express, Interactive, Flash, or Editable Mode.

2. Do one of the following:

• From the Home menu, select Full Screen Mode.

• From the Standard toolbar, select the Full Screen Mode icon .

• Press F12.

3. All the menus, toolbars, and panels are removed from the screen, except the Standard toolbar and the Grouping panel.

Tip: To maximize your view of the document even more, enable full screen mode in your browser as well as the Full Screen mode in Web. For example, you can press F11 to enable Full Screen mode in Internet Explorer, and also press F12 to enable Full Screen mode in Web.

To have all documents in a project executed in Full Screen mode

•  

1. Click the Preferences link at the top right of the screen. The User Preferences page is displayed.

2. From the left, select General.

3. In the Output Formats area, from the Full Screen Mode Behavior for Documents drop-down list, select one of the following options:

• To ensure that documents are executed in Full Screen mode only if the document's Full Screen mode setting is enabled, use the Read from document setting. Within documents, this setting is the Always open this document in full screen mode check box in the Document Properties dialog box.

• To ensure that all documents in the current project are executed in Full Screen mode by default, use the Open every Document in Full Screen mode setting.

• To ensure that no documents in the current project are executed in Full Screen mode, use the Don't open any Document in Full Screen mode setting.
  
  Note: If you select this setting and open a document with the document-level setting Always open this document in full screen mode enabled, the document will not open in Full Screen mode. The project-level setting Don't open any Document in Full Screen mode overrides the document-level setting Always open this document in full screen mode.

4. Click the Apply button at the bottom to confirm the changes.

To switch from Full Screen mode back to the normal screen mode in a document

•  

1. In a document currently displayed in Full Screen mode, do one of the following:

• From the Standard toolbar, select the Restore Normal Screen Mode icon .

• Press F12.

2. The menus, toolbars, and panels are displayed again.

You can also zoom in and out of a document, as described in Zooming in or out on a document.
