| ## A Quick Guide to AbiWord for MacOSX Below is a screen shot of AbiWord showing two of the four toolbars, the Tool Palette panel which can be used as an alternative (or an addition) to the toolbars, the Preview Panel which shows preliminary input text for Chinese / Japanese / Korean input methods, and of course an AbiWord document window. ## The Dock Menu The Dock Menu for AbiWord contains a list of open documents, menu options to create a New document or Open an existing document, and also switches to display or hide the Tool Palette and the Preview Panel. ## The Preview Panel The Preview Panel can be displayed using the switch in the Dock Menu. There is another input preview box in the Extra panel of the Tool Palette. The Preview Panel can be widened, if desired. (My Japanese is close to non-existent, but I think I managed to write "My name is Abi. Pleased to meet you.") ## The Tool Palette The Tool Palette can be displayed using the switch in the Dock Menu (although visible at start-up, it can be hidden). The Tool Palette has a number of palettes that can be collapsed or expanded at will, thus you can have the normal start-up configuration, or even: ### Standard New, Open, Save, Save-As, Print, Spell-Check, Help Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Search, Replace 1-Column, 2-Columns, 3-Columns, Insert-Image, Paint-Format, Show-Formatting Zoom ### Format Document-Style Font-Family Foreground-Color, Background-Color, Font-Size Bold, Italic, Underline, Overline, Strike-Through, Superscript, Subscript Left-Justify, Center-Justify, Right-Justify, Even-Justify, Right-To-Left, Left-To-Right, Dominant-Direction Numbered-List, Bullet-List, Decrease-Indent, Increase-Indent, Insert-Symbol ### Table Insert-Table, Insert-Row, Insert-Column, Delete-Row, Delete-Column, Merge-Cells, Split-Cells (The rest don't currently do anything.) ### Extra Insert-Hyperlink, Insert-Bookmark (Anchor), Edit-Header, Edit-Footer, Remove-Header, Remove-Footer No-Space-Before, 12pt-Space-Before, Single-Spacing, 1.5-Spacing, Double-Spacing, Execute-Script (status unknown) Preview: alternative input-preview text - see Preview Panel above. ### Properties This gives a list of the internal properties associated with the current cursor location. This is primarily for development and debugging, and may be removed from release builds at some point.
