View Windows

While you are working you might find it would be nice to see a different Section than the one you're currently working in. Z-Write has a unique feature: it lets you open Sections in separate "read-only" windows. You cannot edit text within a View Window -- but you can select and drag text from it into your main window.

To open a Section in a View Window, simply "Open Section as View Window" from the Section Tools menu, or Option-doubleclick on the Section's name. The Section name will be displayed in italics to show you that it's open in a View Window. The View Window is named "Document Name:Section Name." This allows you to quickly see which View Windows belong to which Z-Write documents and which Section is displayed. You will note the crossed-out pencil icon on the View window reminds you that you can't edit text in a View window. To edit it, select the Section within the main Z-Write document window and edit it there. (Editing a Section won't automatically update its View window -- you must bring the View window to the front to display its current text.)
