Detailed operating instructions
A so-called ”focus frame” will be displayed around the box, which will be familiar to you from
”standard” WINDOWS
TM
windows.
5.8.2 Graphics changes in box position and size
The position of a box may be changed by clicking on the box with the left-hand mouse key and
keeping the mouse key pressed. The mouse cursor will change to a four-way arrow. When moving the
mouse - whilst the left-hand mouse key is pressed - the box may be placed at any point. When letting
go of the mouse key, the new box is set to its new position.
By the way: The method described above, i.e. moving the mouse whilst the mouse key is pressed, is
often referred to as ”dragging ”. You will certainly come across this term again.
The size of the box, too, is changed in a similar way:
The size of a box may be changed by clicking on the focus frame with the left-hand mouse key and
keeping the mouse key pressed. The mouse cursor will change its shape - depending on what area
you clicked on - becoming a two-way arrow, showing the directions into which the edge of the box can
be displaced. When moving the mouse - whilst the left-hand mouse key is still pressed - the box may
be enlarged and reduced at random. When letting go of the mouse key, the box will be displaced in its
new size.
For graphics boxes, the size of the box is automatically converted to the size of the graphics image,
i.e. when changing the size of a graphics box, the size of the graphics image will change, too.
5.8.3 Accurate setting and/or finding a box position and size
In order to accurately set and/or find a box position and size, the relevant ”Box” prompt window must
be opened. There are two options to do this:
You may:
1. ”Double-click” on the box. Double clicking means clicking on the left-hand mouse key twice in
very quick succession
or:
2. to initially mark the box by clicking the mouse once, followed by ENTER.
