Startup and Default Display

 

By default, All Titles are listed when the program starts up or whenever no other articles are displayed (such as when the last keyword in the Selected column is moved back to the Index column). You can change which titles are displayed at these times to Bookmarked Titles or No Titles. Select your preference from the Index Window tab of the Preferences Dialog Box (File Menu).

 

Outdated Results

 

The word [Outdated] appears after the heading of the Found Titles or Query Titles column to indicate that you have made changes to your articles which may make the list of titles obsolete. For example, modifying the keywords list for an article may "outdate" the results of a query. Rerun the Find or Query command to refresh the titles list.

 

NOTE:Queries are updated automatically if you set the Update Outdated Queries Automatically option from the Tools tab of the Preferences Dialog Box (File Menu).
