How to Expand the Area of the Screen Available for an Image

If an image is too large to fit on your screen (above left), you can enlarge the amount of the screen that's available for the image by temporarily removing the toolbars across the top (above right).

Do this by clicking the arrowhead near the top left of the screen. The exact position and appearance of the arrowhead will vary depending on your browser.

Clicking the arrowhead a second time will make the toolbars return.

This is the arrowhead in Internet Explorer 5. It's situated just below the toolbars, alongside the top of the image area. When the toolbars are removed, the Back and Forward arrows from the bar are repositioned up the edge.

In Netscape 7 the different parts of the toolbar have their own arrowheads so that you can collapse them separately. They're at the extreme left of the toolbar.

You can do the same thing by going into the View menu in your browser's toolbar.

In Internet Explorer, click on Expand Toolbars/Collapse Toolbars.

In Netscape click on Show/Hide, then from the submenu that opens, choose Navigation Toolbar, Personal Toolbar and/or Tab bar.
