Tabs

The Tabs can be found near the bottom of the screen, just above the Status Bar. 
 All 
of the Tabs use a common interface.  The Tabs allow you to access and modify 
the 
various files you use with L.  If you have ever used a database or spreadsheet, 
then 
most likely the tabular format and information fields will look familiar to 
you.  

All of the Tab displays support these common features:

· Columns and rows are resizeable.  The information displayed when you select 
one 
of the Tabs is in columns and rows, with the columns going from top to bottom, 
and 
the rows extending from left to right. You can adjust columns by clicking on 
the right 
or left edges, then holding down the mouse button and dragging to where you 
want 
to reposition it.  The height of rows can be adjusted by clicking on the top or 
bottom 
edge of the row, then dragging - this will affect the height of all the rows 
under that 
Tab.

· Columns are dragable.  You can modify the order in which the columns appear.  

· You can scroll through lists.  If you have many lists, you can scroll down 
through 
them by clicking on the Scrollbar, located on the right side of the screen.

field.  
Once a field is selected, you can modify it either by clicking on the modify 
the

allow you 
to Cut, Copy or Paste the record to the Clipboard. You can also Delete the 
selected 
record or call up our online Help file.

· You can select more than one item at a time. Click on a field then, holding 
down 
the mouse button, drag the cursor over the other lists you want to select, then 
release 
the mouse button. Selected lists will have white text with a black background.  
Another way to select multiple lists is to hold down the Control and 'C' keys 
simultaneously and click the mouse cursor over the lists you want to add.  Note 
that 
this last method does not require the lists to be next to each other.
