View Tab

This tab controls the visual appearance of the work area.

View Tab: Views

The Select View Toolbar commands include:

1. Normal view – the default chart creation view (visually simple and unclut­tered).
2. Print layout view – optimized view for printing (with “print safe” borders, extra tools and the ability to show how a chart is spread across multiple pages).
3. Master Page view – a powerful mode which allows universal changes to be applied to every page of a multi– page chart. It is extremely valuable for creat­ing titles, logos, division names, etc. you wish to repeat on every sheet. This view only reflects universal changes so elements which change from page to page – such as individual chart elements and components – are hidden in this mode. They reappear once Master Page view has been deactivated.

View Tab: Show

3. Profile – Preciously named ‘Box Item’ this window shows the data details for any org chart box selected.
