The LCD Screen Editor is divided into the following elements:
Tree Pane: The tree pane is the Windows Explorer-style hierarchical tree located on the left side of the LCD Screen Editor. It represents the entire LCD screen file with all screens and fields shown in that tree. This pane is used to view the entire file at a glance, and for operations that are not contained in a single screen, such as moving a screen up or down in the list and moving a field from one screen to another. For details on the tree pane, see Tree Pane Details.
Screen Pane: The screen pane is the 4-row, 20-column text box located in the upper-right quarter of the LCD Screen Editor. It represents the current screen in the current LCD screen file. This pane is used to view the screen, edit text in the screen, and to position and size fields in the screen. For details on the screen pane, see Screen Pane Details.
Field Pane: The field pane is the form located in the lower-right quarter of the LCD Screen Editor. It represents the current field in the current screen. If no field is selected, this area will be empty. This pane is used to view and edit field properties. For details on the field pane, see Field Pane Details.
Toolbar: The toolbar holds buttons for commonly used commands. To help identify these buttons, hovering the pointer over a button will pop up a ToolTip and display a description in the status bar. For details on the toolbar, see Toolbar Details.
Status Bar: The status bar holds a CAPS LOCK indicator, a NUM LOCK indicator, an indicator for Insert (INS) or Overtype (OVR) mode, and a line of text to display descriptions of the currently selected menu command or toolbar button. For details on the status bar, see Status Bar Details.

Change the screen pane's font. The font in the screen pane can be adjusted for optimal viewing on your monitor. See Changing the View Options for details.
