Things you should know
These are just some basic concepts for your review of Chapter 2.

1. What is the XPress Box Concept?
In order to have something exist on your document page, you first need to create a box for it to live in. There are picture boxes and text boxes. They are created using the text box creation tools or the picture box creation tools.

Displays the name of the currently open XPress document.

The first button in the upper right hand side of the document window. It allows you to minimize your document to nothing more than a short title bar at the bottom of your program window.

The second button in the upper right hand side of the document window. It allows you to maximize your document to the largest size program window dependent on monitor size.

The resizing tab allows you to manually change the size of the document window. Good for when you have several documents open at one time. May also resize the window from any part of the document window boarder.

It is at the lower left hand portion of the document window. It is used to get around from page to page within the document.

OK Button, causes the values entered in the dialog box to be implemented. Apply Button, causes the values entered in the dialog box to be applied without having to commit to the choices. Cancel Button, causes the values that were entered to be ignored as if the dialog box was never touched.

A palette is kinda like a floating dialog box that can remain open as you work and can be maximized or minimized.

Fields are the boxes in dialog boxes and palettes that accept numeric values.
