Get a Different View of the Page

When you first open Sahafi, it calculates any reduction necessary to display the entire page in the document window. This is called Size To Fit view. As you can tell by looking at the rulers, the page itself isn't actually made smaller, it's just displayed that way for your convenience.

  1. Choose Views from the Document menu and then choose Actual Size. The page and rulers are enlarged in the window so that they are displayed at actual size. Unless you are working with a full-page monitor, only the top-left portion of the page fits in the document window.

You can use the scroll bars to bring other parts of the page into view.

  1. Press the down pointing scroll arrow in the vertical scroll bar until the bottom-left corner of the page is visible in the window.

  2. Press the right-pointing scroll arrow In the horizontal scroll bar until the bottom-right corner of the page is visible In the window.

In addition to using the scroll bars, Sahafi lets you scroll the part of a page you want to view into the window in another way, by using the hand tool.

  1. Click the hand tool In the tool bar. The hand tool becomes highlighted to show that it is the currently selected tool. When the hand tool is selected and you move the pointer into the document window, the pointer looks like a small hand.

  2. Drag the page with the hand tool until the top left corner of the page is centered in the document window. You can experiment with scrolling the page in the window if you wish.

  3. Choose Views from the Document menu and then choose the Size To Fit command from the submenu that appears. The page is reduced in the window so that you can see the entire page again.

You'll use these techniques for viewing your pages in different ways throughout this tutorial.
Now that you've mastered these techniques and are familiar with the Sahafi desktop, you're ready to learn how to save a document and to give it a name.
