|
|
| When "docked" ReadPlease will always be visible. You can even drag and drop text from other applications into the ReadPlease. If the task bar is in Auto-hide mode, then just hold your cursor (which holds the text) at the top of the screen and wait for the Taskbar to become visible, then drop the test into ReadPlease by releasing the mouse.

| You will notice that when ReadPlease PLUS 2003 is "docked", all other programs will appear below the ReadPlease Taskbar. There is another useful option you can use called Auto-hide.

|
|
| Follow these steps to try out the Auto-hide feature.
|
|
|
| 1. | Make sure ReadPlease is in the "Docked" mode (by clicking on the "Dock" button)
|
| 2. | Click into the check box [ ] - Auto-hide on the lower right side of ReadPlease
|
| 3. | Now bring up another application, like Internet Explorer or any program you like and click anywhere on that application
|
| 4. | You will notice that the ReadPlease Taskbar disappears from the top of your screen
|
| 5. | Now, to make it reappear, just move your mouse to the very top center of the screen and hold it there for a second
|
| 6. | You will see the ReadPlease Taskbar unhide itself and become visible

Tip
| · | You can still drag and drop text into ReadPlease even when it is in Auto-hide mode. Just get a hold of the text and drag it to the top of the screen, ReadPlease will unhide itself and you can drop the text in.
|
|
|
| · | You can adjust the amount of time delay for causing ReadPlease to drop down from the top of the screen. You will want to increase this delay if you find that just touching the top of the screen causes ReadPlease to drop down and you want to have it so you must hold your mouse at the top of the screen for a short while to cause ReadPlease to drop down (un-hide).
