The option "One Page" reduces the album in such a way that the entire page fits into the window. Finally, the option "Two Pages" reduces the album in such a way that two pages fit exactly next to one another into the window.

With the aid of the horizontal and vertical rulers you can position objects onto a specific location and with a specific size. The ruler shows red lines for the position of selected objects and black lines for the mouse position. While moving objects the position of the objects will be shown with blue lines.

The ruler can be shown in millimeters as well as in inches. You can adjust this in the screen “Settings” on the tab “Misc”.

The scrollbars give you the possibility to show parts of the page that are out of sight. Moreover you can scroll through all pages of the album. During scrolling the page number of the page that is visible will be shown in a highlighted box.

The status bar shows information about the active album or task you are working on.
