Page Mode

[MWensOrdina]

Call me stupid,

but I just started using 9.0 and I can't seem to be able to edit headers and footers in RTF-templates imported from a package made in 8.0.

I checked the User Guide and found what I needed to do:

In the page "Headers and Footers"
"In Page Mode, select the Edit | Edit Page Header/Footer menu option"

That sounded familiar. However, in the Edit-menu there was no "Edit Page Header/Footer menu option". So I must not be in Page Mode. So I searched for that in the User Guide:

In the page "View Options"
"Turn Page Mode on (the equivalent of Print View in Word) or off (the equivalent of Normal View in Word)."

That sounded familiar too, but unlike in my print preview in Word I cannot find any buttons or menu options to set Page Mode on or off! What does the page "View Options"  refer to? A menu, it seems, but which one? Not the obvious "View"  menu, as the option "Page Mode"  does not show in it.. The odd thing is, the RTF-generator opens in what looks to me like a Page Mode, the same I had in 8.0 (showing one page at the time), when the menu option "Edit Page Header/Footer menu option" never gave me a headache.

I must be having an off-day, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Don't tell me something simple as this is not part of the Desktop Edition...

Very bad mondaymorning feeling, indeed! Upon reaching the office I managed to log on to a version 8.0 and the penny dropped:

- in 8.0 the edit screen for RTF-templates opens as a pop-up screen with its own menu bar. That has a "View" option which allows you to set the Page Mode on or off.
- in 9.0 the editting of the RTF-templates opens in the full screen, as a result the menu above the template (which includes a "View" option) is the general EA-menu, not the template-editting menu. That's why I could not find the option: it's in the right-mouse menu, not the menu bar!

I have edited the Templates topics (both RTF and Linked Document) to make it clearer that you work from a right-click context menu.
