The status bar
The status bar, at the bottom of Namo WebEditor’s main window, displays useful information regarding the working environment.
The status bar (shown with collapsed bottom tool panel)
When the mouse pointer is over a menu command or toolbar button, the left side of the status bar displays a brief description of the command or button.
The right side of the status bar contains four inset areas that display various kinds of status information. From left to right, these areas show:
- The modification state of the current document. If the document has been modified since you last saved it, the word Modified appears here.
- The typing mode. In the default Insert mode, whatever you type “pushes” existing text on the right side of the insertion point further right to make room for the new text. In Overwrite mode, whatever you type overwrites existing text on the right side of the insertion point. (To change the typing mode, press the Insert key. By default, however, the typing mode is locked in Insert mode. To unlock it, click the Namo Menu menu, click the Preferences button, click the Edit tab, and then clear the Lock Insert key check box.)
- The write status of the current document. If the current document is read-only (meaning changes cannot be saved), the phrase Read-Only appears here.
- The layout mode. When the current document window is in page layout mode, this area displays Page.
To reveal or hide the status bar
- On the View menu, select or unselect the Status Bar option button in the Screen tool section.
