If your Document View window is not wide enough, all nine buttons are
not displayed. Because the function of each button is also offered
in a pull-down menu, no functionality is lost if you open a narrow
Document View window. The list below discusses each button and notes
the corresponding pull-down menu option.
- Back
- Returns to the previous document in the Document View window history
(e.g., if you have followed a hyperlink or selected a menu item).
No action if you have only viewed one document so far.
Also available on the Navigate menu.
- Forward
- Returns to the document that preceded the current document. Dimmed
if you have not moved backward yet. For example, if you moved from
Document A to Document B and returned to Document A with Back,
Forward brings up Document B again.
Also available on the Navigate menu.
- Home
- Moves to your home document or home page. Default home
document is the NCSA Mosaic Home Page.
Also available on the Navigate menu.
- Reload
- Reloads the current document from the server, thus displaying any
file changes made and saved since the last loading. (This is particularly
useful if you are refining a document file.)
Also available on the File menu as Reload Current.
- Open...
- Opens the Open Document window to enter the URL for a file to be
viewed. See ``The URL Format''
and the NCSA Mosaic
Help menu (On URLs).
Also available on the File menu as Open URL....
- Save As...
- Opens the Save Document window that lets you save the current document
to your local system in one of four different formats.
Also available on the File menu.
- Clone
- Opens a duplicate of the window being viewed. This is a useful
choice if you want to keep a window open for reference but also
want to select another hyperlink or open another file.
Also available on the File menu as Clone Window.
- New Window
- Opens a new Document View window. The content of the new window
is your default home page. There is no limit on the number of windows
you can open.
Also available on the File menu.
- Close Window
- Closes the current Document View window. If you only have one window
open, the entire application exits.
Also available on the File menu.
