How to Work with Multipage Molecular Documents

    Multipage molecular documents help to work with large drawings by dividing them into pages. To use the navigation tools of a multipage molecular document double-click on the chosen cell.

    Multipage example in MarvinView

    A new window will open and the following controls will automatically appear on the window's interface:

    • Pages menu on the menubar
    • Navigation statusbar under the canvas
    • Frame of pages, margin, title and page numbers on the canvas

    The statusbar contains information about the current page number in a text field and the number of all pages on a label. It also contains a collection of buttons to aid your quick navigation in the document. You can go to the first, previous, next, and last page using them. Alternatively you can go directly to a specific page by entering a number in the text field and pressing enter.
