The application menu

To show the application menu, click the round button at the top left of the workspace. The application menu enables you to create a novel, open an existing novel, and to save the novel you are working on. In addition, it contains the printing and exporting button which enables you to print or export your novel.

The ribbon bar

At the top of the workspace is the ribbon bar which includes buttons to add chapters and characters to your novel, to format your text and so on.

Docking

You can dock and undock the tool windows (the novel explorer, the properties window, the research window, the thesaurus and the quick help window) as you wish. To undock a window drag the window via its title bar. To dock it, drag it towards the side of the main application window. Icons will appear in front of the main application window to enable you to dock windows into tabs or into certain locations.

Help! I've lost a window

If you get confused with your window layout and don't seem to be able to find a window, click on the drop down arrow underneath the windows button on the layout and theme tab and choose reset all windows. The workspace will be reset to the default layout with the novel explorer on the left and the properties window at the bottom.
