Window Layouts

You can save different layouts of the interface, in case you want to use them for different purposes.

1. Configure the workspace how you want it.
2. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

   • Ribbon Select the Window ribbon. In the Window Layout section select Save Layout>Save Layout As.

     Switching between ribbons and the tool strip… You can use the Options dialog to switch between ribbons and the classic tool strip layout. See Switching Between Ribbons and the Tool Strip. 

     More about ribbon options… Keep in mind that the smaller the application window becomes, the more the options in a ribbon shrink. Therefore, you might only see a small icon instead of text, or you might see only a section name displayed with a down arrow to access the options in it. You can hover over small icons to see tooltips that describe them. You can also enlarge the application window or click one of the section drop-downs in the ribbon to locate a hidden feature.

   • Menu Select Window>Layouts>Save Window Layout As.
3. In the Rename Window Layout dialog, enter a name for the layout.
4. Click OK.

You can automatically save the layout of the workspace when you exit Lingo. The next time you launch Lingo, that same layout will be displayed.

Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

• Ribbon Select the Window ribbon. In the Window Layout section select Auto-save Layout.
• Menu Select Window>Layouts>Auto-save Layout.

You can quickly change the configuration of your workspace by selecting a window layout that you have saved previously.

Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

• Ribbon Select the Window ribbon. In the Window Layout section select Layout>[Name of Layout].
• Menu Select Window>Layouts>Select Layout>[Name of Layout].

You can return the workspace configuration to the original layout that you saw when you first installed and launched Lingo.

Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

• Ribbon Select the Window ribbon. In the Window Layout section select Reset Layout.
• Menu Select Window>Layouts>Reset Window Layout.

You can return the workspace to the saved configuration of the layout. In other words, if you are working in a particular layout and have opened different interface elements or moved interface elements around, you can select this option to go back to the saved configuration.
