The View tab is always on the ribbon. Use it to change how the page looks on screen, and to zoom, switch views, and open more windows. Most of these choices change only what you see on screen.
- Views switches between Normal, where you work on pages, and Master Page, where you edit the background pages. See Master pages, headers, and page numbers.
- Layout shows one page at a time with Single Page, or two facing pages side by side with Two-Page Spread. See Add, move, and delete pages.
- Show turns on or off the things you see while you work: Boundaries (dotted lines around objects), Guides, Fields, Rulers, Page Navigation (the Pages list), Scratch Area, Baselines, Graphics Manager, and Special Characters. Full Screen (F11) fills the whole screen with the window; press F11 or Esc to come back. Esc first puts away what the page has open (a selected object, or text you are typing), so press it again when nothing is selected. See Rulers, guides, and snapping and Find your way around the window.
- Zoom has a Zoom box and the 100%, Whole Page, Page Width, and Selected Objects buttons. See Find your way around the window.
- Window has New Window, Arrange All, Cascade, and Switch Windows for working with more than one JeffPub window. See Find your way around the window.
- Tools has Measurement, a small window where you type an object's position, size, and rotation. See Move, align, group, and layer objects.
These pages are generated from JeffPub's built-in Help (resources/help/en in the repository) and are replaced on each update, so edits belong in the repository.
