Drawing Area

The cover elements are designed in the drawing area. The drawing area consists of tabs for
the different cover elements that belong to the selected document type or that you have ad-
ded to a user-defined type, as well as the rulers at the top and on the left.
You can use the tabs in the drawing area to switch between the individual cover elements. If
you want to view multiple cover elements at the same time, you can select the cover ele-
ments that should be visible from the View menu: The drawing area will then be divided into
subwindows.
On the tabs you will find:

an editable, unshaded area the size and shape of the selected cover element where the
cover element is designed, and

a shaded, non-editable area.
