How do I change my toolbar?

You can change your toolbar by one of the following methdods:

• In Themes, all toolbars for which you are authorized to use appear at the top of your screen, simply click on the one you wish to view and the wizards in that module will appear on the left side of your screen.

• In Classic view, point your cursor to the right of the current toolbar, right-click, then click Select Current Toolbar. Select a toolbar from the list and click OK.

• Click the Preference menu, point to Desktop, then Current Toolbar, and click Select. Select a toolbar from the list and click OK.

How do I change my fonts?

In the Java WorkFlows client, both Window and Menu text font size can be set by the user.

Click the Preference menu, point to Desktop, and then click Font Settings. Click the gadget to customize the font for Window and/or Menu text. Select a font, font style, and size. Click OK. Click OK again. Additional instructions can be found in Training Handouts, under General Training or click here.

Note: If you use diacritics, it is best to use the Arial Unicode MS. If this font is not in the list of options, then Microsoft's Unicode Fonts need to be installed on your workstation. To install these fonts, follow the instructions here or contact LITS.

How do I close a window is the X is not visible?

Will the macros I created using Keyboard Express in the C client work in the Java WorkFlows client?

Some macros may still work if the workflow between the two clients has not changed and in some cases the macro may need to be recreated. In some cases, pauses will need to be added to slow down the macro to accomodate the new client. In the following example, the <SPKEY:0005> entry was added to an existing C client macro and it now works in the Java Workflows client. 954<SPKEY:0005><TAB><SPKEY:0005><TAB>102006.
