Moving Documents to Other Layers
|
Each tab in the Document Tab Bar corresponds to a document in the active layer.
You can move a document to another layer by dragging the appropriate tab in the Document
Tab Bar onto the Layer Bar.
In addition, you can also rearrange documents and layers by dragging-and-dropping
within the Layer Manager window (accessed by selecting Layer Manager
from the Window menu or in the Research-Desk Toolbox).
|
Re-Ordering Layers
|
You can drag the buttons on the Layer Bar to re-order the
layers. You can also drag the layers in the Layer Manager to re-order them.
|
Moving Text from One Layer to Another
|
To drag text from one layer to another, simply highlight and drag the text over to
the Layer Bar (while holding the mouse button down). As you drag
the text over the Layer Bar, the corresponding layers will activate
and you can then drop the text onto the desired location in the active layer.
|
Opening saved Files or Workspaces
|
Research-Desk Professional will open files or Internet Shortcuts dragged onto the
Workspace Background. For example, you can open a Word document on the desktop
by dragging it from the desktop onto the Workspace Background.
You can also open a web page link by dragging it from a browser window onto the background.
|
Internet URLs or Links
|
You can drag a link from a web page onto the Workspace Background to open the link
in a new browser window. You can also drag a link onto the Layer Bar to
activate a layer before dropping it onto the workspace background.
You can also drag the icon to the left of the browser's Address Bar onto an
Explorer window to create a shortcut, or onto the Workspace Background to open
the link in a new browser window.
|
Moving Text between Documents
|
|
Arrange the documents so that they are visible side by side (Select Windows,
Tile Vertically or Tile Horizontally to arrange the documents in the active layer).
You can then drag text from any document - web page, Word document, Excel spreadsheet,
PowerPoint presentation - to any other.
