About the Browse tab
The Browse tab displays the current document in the internal browser. This is helpful
when you are making many changes to a page that do not require processing by a
server; for example, previewing formatting changes. For information on configuring
the internal browser, see
“Configuring the internal browser” on page 10
.
The Browse toolbar displays at the top of the Document window when you select the
Browse tab. You can position the cursor over each toolbutton to display a descriptive
tooltip. You can use the toolbar to browse a page, refresh the display, and test a page
in different screen resolutions. Use Toggle Rulers to frame your page with rulers
measuring in pixels, with the 640x480 markers highlighted in red. Use Browser Size to
preview a page in a 640x480 or 800x600 screen resolution.

view the document in the default external browser.
