Arranging MicroTest Pro Windows

Previous   Contents   Next  

MicroTest Pro's Tiled Windows explains the window-driven environment of MicroTest Pro. The tiled three-window format displayed in that section is one way to arrange your working environment. It is commonly referred to as MicroTest Tile. The fourth window, Display/Edit Figures, is usually accessed via the Window menu. If you wish to utilize this window arrangement, follow the steps below.

MicroTest Tile

  1. From the Window menu, choose Edit Questions.
  2. From the Window menu, choose Select Questions.
    Your windows should now appear in a tiled format with the Table of Contents window in the upper left corner, the Select Questions window in the upper right corner and the Edit questions window in the lower half. If they are not arranged as such, from the Window menu, choose MicroTest Tile.
  3. From the Window menu, choose Save Window Arrangement.

Now, each time you open your question bank, the windows will appear in a MicroTest Tile format. Although you will always need to have at least one window open to work with your question bank, you can choose to have any combination of the three windows open at any time, in any particular arrangement. MicroTest Pro provides two alternative tiled window arrangements in addition to the MicroTest Tile option. Follow the steps below to view your windows in a Cascade or Tile pattern.

Cascade or Tile

  1. Open the desired windows using the Window menu.
  2. a) From the Window menu, choose Cascade.
    -or-
    b) From the Window menu, choose Tile.
  3. From the Window menu, choose Save Window Arrangement.

Even if you have saved your window arrangement, you can still modify the window environment. If the tiling options provided for you in the Window menu do not suit your needs, simply resize each window to the desired proportions.

NOTE: Don’t forget to choose Save Window Arrangement from the Window menu when you have designed a tiled window format that best suits your needs.
