Nisus InfoClick - Manual (Page 18)

2 Basic Start
InfoClick — a “Grand Tour”
Have you ever entered a new building or travelled to a new land and stood bedazzled by what lay
before you? Where were all those buttons and knobs? Why were all the street signs and address
markers different from what you knew before? Even cars, which are all pretty standard in their
tools, put the light and windshield wiper controls in different locations.
So it is, also, with software. To help you understand and use the many tools that are all within the
reach of your mouse or trackpad, read on.
Windows and Pointers
This portion of the manual describes the graphical elements you see on screen for controlling
InfoClick. Features of InfoClick windows and the buttons they contain, are fully explained. Also
included is a description of the various pointers you see when you perform different tasks. Finally,
you can learn about how InfoClick allows you to manipulate dialog boxes.

The InfoClick window
InfoClick’s window resembles those of other Macintosh applications. However, it does not have a
Toolbar at the top, nor does it have a full screen mode. You can rearrange the sequence of the
columns in the InfoClick window. Click and drag the title of the column to the location you prefer.
