Domesday Explorer
Help Main Page



Domesday Explorer uses the same metaphor as Windows Explorer. The screen is divided into two panes, the left for browsing, the right for viewing. The Browser pane on the left controls what you want to see, the Viewer pane on the right displays what you have chosen to see.

The panes can be resized by dragging the splitter bar which divides them. In addition, there is a quick resize button in the middle of the splitter. If this is clicked, it will toggle between minimising and maximising the Browser pane.

The windows in each pane allow you to explore
Domesday Book. Toolbars and Menus provide alternative ways of browsing, navigating and searching.

As you change windows, Toolbars and Menus change to reflect their different functions and the
Caption bar of the currently active window is highlighted. If a menu item or Toolbar you expect to see is not visible, make sure that the correct window is active.

The main elements of the Domesday Explorer screen are:

Browser pane:
Searches window
Navigator window

Viewer pane:
text view
facsimile view
map view
table view.
