What's on the Korva screen?

If you’ve used Microsoft Publisher, most of this will look familiar. Here is what each part of the window is for.

1. Ribbon: the tabs and buttons along the top.
2. Pages panel: a thumbnail of every page.
3. Your page: where you click, type and drag.
4. Format pane: the settings for what you’ve selected.
5. Status bar: what just happened, the page size, the page number and the zoom.
6. Export PDF: makes a PDF of your publication.
7. Your plan: shows whether you’re on Free or Pro.

The title bar

On the left are Save, Undo and Redo. In the middle is the name of your publication and whether it’s saved: Saved, Unsaved changes, or Not saved yet for a publication that has never been saved.

On the right are Settings (the gear), your plan, and Export PDF. The small arrow next to Export PDF opens all the print and export choices: press-ready PDF, picture, booklet and more.

The ribbon

The tabs have the same names as in Publisher: File, Home, Insert, Page Design, Mailings, Arrange, Review, View and Help. Click a tab to see its buttons. Hold the pointer over a button to see what it does and its keyboard shortcut.

File works like Publisher’s File tab: it fills the window with New, Open, Info, Save, Print and Export. Click the arrow at its top left to go back to your publication.

The Pages panel

Every page has a thumbnail. Click one to go to that page. The buttons above the thumbnails move the current page up or down, duplicate it, delete it, or add a page. Right-click a thumbnail for more, such as Insert Page…. You can also drag thumbnails to change the order.

See Add, move and delete pages.

The Format pane

This replaces Publisher’s task panes and most of its Format tabs. Select something on the page and the pane shows the settings for it. The top says what you selected. The tabs underneath change with it: a text box has Text, Box, Arrange and Accessibility; a picture has Picture, Frame, Arrange and Accessibility.

At the bottom of the pane, Objects & Layers lists everything on the page. Use it to pick an object that’s hidden behind another.

The status bar

The left side says what just happened (for example, Opened and the file name), the page size, and what’s selected. The right side shows the page number and the zoom: zoom out, the slider, zoom in, Fit (the whole page) and 100%.
