Working with Applications

Working with Multiple Applications on a Page

You can add up to four applications to a page. When you have multiple applications on a page, the menu for the active application is displayed in the Documents Toolbox. Using multiple applications involves two steps:

• Changing the page layout to accommodate multiple applications.
• Adding the applications.

You can add multiple applications to a page even if an application is already active.

 

By default, each page contains space to add one application. To add additional applications to the page, complete the following steps.

1. Click Edit > Page Layout > Select Layout.

—or—

Click .

The page layout menu opens.

There are eight page layout options available. If an option is already selected, it is dimmed.

2. Highlight the layout you want to add to the problem or page, and then click to select it.

The new layout is displayed with the first application active.

3. In Handheld preview, click Press menu to select an application for each new section in the problem or page. In Computer view, select Click here to add an application.

 

To change the position of applications on a page with multiple applications, “swap“ the positions of two applications.

1. Click Edit > Page Layout > Swap Application.

Note: The last active application you worked on is automatically selected as the first application to be swapped.

2. Click the second application to swap.

This action performs the swap.

Note: When there are only two work areas, the selected application automatically swaps position with the other application in the work area.

To cancel a swap, press Esc.
