The tool bar on The BBQ CD is very useful in navigating the CD. The best way to lean how powerful some of these functions can be is to just try them and see what happens. Many of them are standard icons and you will recognize them instantly. Next we will take a bit of time to show you a few things to get you started.
The three highlighted icons near the center of the toolbar control the size of what you see in the CD. The left one displays the page at full size, the middle one fits it to the window, and the right one displays it to fill the width of the window. Try them out...
Next, at the top left of the tool bar click on File-Preferences-General and the following window will open.
As you can see you can adjust a lot of features. We suggest you start with the settings above. But note that the Magnification Default Zoom value will impact the behavior of the display as you follow links from page to page. If you want the new page to inherit the magnification in effect when you clicked the link, then this value should be set to a specific percentage (usually 100%).
