PagePlus X6: Print Preview

[Sandy]

Sorry if I missed this, but I did do a search for this problem and found nothing.

In PPX4 with my small 28 page A4 landscape booklet (2 A5 pages side by side) I could go to print preview and then scroll down through each double A5 page, page by page all the way to the last page of the booklet.

Now with PPX6 I find in print preview that one can only view a single double page 'in full size' at a time - then go back into the programme and select another double side by side page - back into print preview and on and on and on. Literally a 2-second job becoming many (and unnecessary) minutes.

Can one have print preview working in X6 as it did in X4 in print preview, so that each double page (in my case) is perfectly readable (and same size as the original pages in the programme as was the case in X4) as you scroll down page by page by page by page...?

Press Page Down and Page Up.

Hiya Sandy

The Print Preview is a bit different, isn't li?

Go to View > Multipage

There may be another way, too.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Geoff, and Marilyn,

I expected to be able to do it by the scrollbar (as X4), or page up/down buttons - but I see that it is hidden away in the View pull down menu.

Multiple Page didn't work Marilyn as each page becomes too small for a quick proofread.

That's the first problem solved, and I know I'm changing the subject - my next is lack of Browse in the File menu. I have 100s of graphics files and publications that I constantly need to refer back to almost daily, and need to view them pictorially in browse (remembering file names is ridiculous); I have to be able to see the graphics, artwork and publications I have produced over the years - so it looks like I am stuck in PPX4, and PPX6 will be just have be a novelty for me, as I simply must have browse, and X4 has it. I am still using XP where I believe the problem may lie but have no plans to change it, so I'll have to stay X4 for all my work?

For me personally, getting rid of Browse is a truly enormous step backwards by Serif as all photo editing programs have browse including PhPlus, so why not PP and DP; which had it in previous versions?

You can use the Page up/down keys or the page indicator on the hint line.

Thanks Geoff,

These keys have been there for years on the hint line of the main screen, and now they are there in print preview as well. It's my advanced years!
