Working with the Corel Office for Java desktop

The Corel Office for Java desktop is the screen that is displayed the first time that you launch Corel Office for Java. It allows you to access Notebook options, Status Bar commands, and application shortcuts. You can also use the Corel Office for Java desktop to access the Preferences dialog box and to create custom shortcuts to the documents that you use most often.

The application desktop

When you double-click a shortcut on the Corel Office for Java desktop and launch an application, the application desktop is displayed. The application desktop contains the Notebook and Status Bar but also allows you to access the Common toolbar, the application-specific toolbar, and all associated menu commands.

The Notebook

The Notebook is located on the left side of the Corel Office for Java desktop and is displayed by default when you launch Corel Office for Java. You can use the Notebook to access local and server-side documents, clipart images, sample files, document templates, and the Corel Office for Java Trash page. The Trash page holds all of the files that you delete from the Corel Office for Java desktop.

The Status Bar

The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the Corel Office for Java desktop and is also displayed by default when you launch Corel Office for Java. You can use the desktop management icons on the Status Bar to display or hide the Notebook, to display the Common toolbar and application desktop, to log on to and off of the network server, and to move between documents. The Status Bar also displays system information including commands and functions, the current application's status, clock settings, and stock quotes.
