Text Windows
Previous  Top  Next

When a text window is active, the menu bar contains a File Menu, for saving and printing the contents, and a standard Edit Menu for editing the contents.

To return to the main menu bar, click on the Control Window (see Types of Windows), or use the Window menu.

The Transform button in the Tranformation Parameters dialog lists the transformed atom parameters and other data to a separate Text window. The Listing option in the Powder Diffraction dialog (File Menu) lists the data to a Text window, as does the Bond Lengths and Angles dialog (called from the Control Window). Each window actually displays the contents of a file, called respectively LIST.DAT and BONDS.DAT. These files are written over again each time the respective option is called, so if they are to be preserved they should be saved with the Save As command in the File Menu, using a different name.
