The ribbon bar



Ribbon bar

The ribbon is the area of the MyNovel workspace where you issue commands to add chapters and characters to your novel, to format your novel, to find and replace text within your novel, etc.

At the top of the ribbon are four primary tabs which provide access to given sets of functionality within MyNovel:

The writing tab

This tab enables you to add chapters, characters, etc. to your novel. It also enables you to format the text within your novel and to perform find and replace operations on the text within the current chapter.

The inspiration tab

The inspiration tab enables you to get inspiration for your novel, using the MyNovel.biz website.

The writer circle tab

The writers circle tab enables you work with The Writers Circle directly from MyNovel.

The layout and theme tab

The layout and theme tab enables you to hide / show the various tool windows within MyNovel including the novel explorer , the properties window , the thesaurus and so on, to switch to full-screen editing, and to change the overall appearance (the theme) of the MyNovel workspace.

Printing and exporting

In addition, when you switch to print preview mode (in order to print or export your novel) the four tabs are temporarily replaced with a single printing tab:
