How to Edit a Document in Full Screen

You can edit a document without having to see all the navigation features (toolbars, menus, and panels) that are available on the interface. Editing in full screen lets you maximize the amount of data you can view at one time, and helps focus attention on the data itself. It is especially helpful for dashboard-style documents, which are usually designed to be one page long. It is also helpful with any document that contains multiple grid or graph reports, sections, and images, to make it easier for you to use the interface.

When you edit a document in Editable Mode, you can switch the document to full screen. In Editable Mode, you can:

• Use the Standard toolbar to quickly switch viewing modes, save, print, export, and deliver the document, among other tasks.
• Use the Grouping panel to view different groups of data in the document.

To maximize your view of the document even more, enable full screen mode in your browser as well as the Full Screen mode in Web.

Press F11 to enable Full Screen mode in Internet Explorer.

   From a folder, right-click the document, point to Run as, and select Editable. If the document is open in Design Mode, click the Editable Mode icon .

   Press F12.

   All the menus, toolbars, and panels are removed from the screen, except the Standard toolbar and the Grouping panel.

To return to the normal screen, click the Restore Normal Screen Mode icon in the toolbar.

To edit all documents in a project in full screen

This setting applies to Editable Mode; it does not affect Presentation Mode, which always uses full screen.

1. On the upper right of any page, click your user name, and then select Preferences from the drop-down list. By default, the General preferences page is displayed.
2. In the Output Formats area, from the Full Screen Mode Behavior for Documents drop-down list, select one of the following options:
   • To ensure that documents are edited in full screen mode only if the document's Full Screen mode setting is enabled, use the Read from document setting. Within documents, this setting is the Always open this document in full screen mode checkbox in the Document Properties dialog box.
   • To ensure that all documents in the current project are edited in full screen by default, use the Open every Document in Full Screen mode setting.
   • To ensure that no documents in the current project are edited in Full Screen mode, use the Don't open any Document in Full Screen mode setting.

   If you select this setting and edit a document with the document-level setting Always open this document in full screen mode enabled, the document will not open in full screen. The project-level setting Don't open any Document in Full Screen modeoverrides the document-level setting Always open this document in full screen mode.
