File Bar

The File Bar by default is located along the top edge of the Work Window. Use the File Bar buttons to load and save your projects, to cut, paste, or delete, or objects on the page, or to control the appearance of the Work Window.

Controls on the File Bar include the following:

Control Description

Open Project – Click to open an existing project file (*.ims ). Browse for a project to open using the Open Project dialog box. (For more information, see Project Target Options Dialog Box.)
Save – Click to save the active project file with its current name and to its current location on your system. When you use the Save option for the first time, the Save Current Document As dialog box appears to allow you to name your project file, choose a directory location for your saved file, and set other project file options. (For more information, see Saving Projects)
Cut Object – Removes a selected object from the page and stores it in temporary memory. It will remain there until it is either pasted or cloned, or until another object is either cut or copied. For more information, see Cut Object.
Copy Object – Click to create a duplicate of a selected object. Once you have copied an object, you can Paste, Clone, or Include it onto any page in the project. For more information, see Copy Object.
