Make-up of the Desk Window
DocuWorks Desk mainly consists of the folder area, the workspace, the toolbar, the task toolbar, and the status bar.
Workspace
Displays the files in the folder which is being selected in the folder area. You can also display them in a list form. The workspace area can also be split into upper and lower areas, and each of the areas can display the content of the different folders.
Important
When the workspace area is split into upper and lower areas, the content of a folder cannot be displayed in both areas.
In the workspace with the file thumbnails displayed, you can add memos to and group the files by pasting annotations such as notepads and shapes into the workspace area.
Thumbnail
A reduced image of a DocuWorks file. You can change the zoom ratio using the slider bar on the bottom of the workspace.
Place the cursor at the thumbnail of the DocuWorks files, then you can enlarge the thumbnail while pressing the <Ctrl> + <Shift> keys.
When [Display specified types as thumbnails] is selected in [View] under [DocuWorks Desk Options] in the [Preferences] dialog box, the thumbnails of image files and PDF files are also displayed.
