Most of the operations of APEX are obvious or fairly easy to figure out. Keystokes and Mouse Clicks lists short-cut navigation tools for viewing the report, and the toolbar icons are briefly described below.
The Zoom Percentage controls shows various steps of zoom. When you use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in or zoom out, the steps by which you zoom are those shown in the zoom percentage control. You may manually set (by typing it in) the zoom percentage to any value between 10 and 1000. Note that when you are selecting a value for the zoom percentage control, and it has the focus, using the PageUp and Down key, as well as the up and down arrows, apply to the zoom percentage and not to the report being displayed. In other words, you can cycle through the zoom percentages by using those directional keys.
Print as Intended by Application is an unusual operation, so please see the documentation for an explanation.
The Find Text button on the toolbar will be grayed out (inactive) if the report being previewed does not contain any text—i.e., is all images and/or graphics. To initiate a text search, click on this button and enter the text to be found in the resulting dialog box.
Open Another Report File opens a file selection dialog in the APEX folder.
Preview Preferences provides control of basic preview operations.
Export to XLS produces a spreadsheet from the displayed report, and the adjacent icon provides configuration options.
Email Report is pretty clear, and the adjacent icon provides configuration options.
