How to get started
Browsing for Information
A good way to browse and navigate through the newspaper is the contents pane.
The table of contents appears on the left side of the screen allowing you to view both the table of contents
and the document at the same time.


Clicking a plus sign  next to a heading in the table of contents expands that heading to show additional information. Clicking a minus sign  hides the information.

Clicking on a heading in the table of contents takes you to the corresponding heading in the document pane.

Go Back-Go Forward

Use Go Back Arrow to back up to the previous location in the history list

Use Next Partition to advance to the next article.
Use Previous Partition to return to the next article.


Finding what you are looking for

There are 3 main types of searches to search for information.

1. Searching all of the newspaper
Keyword Search
The Query dialog(F3) allows you to use natural language to search for terms.

An example of a basic key wordsearch is:  government policy


"Searching for a phrase"
You may search for an exact phrase. Enclose the phrase in quotation marks.

For example: "federal government policy"

2. Searching using Boolean Operators, Wildcard, Word Stem and Synonym searches

And

“Government and policy”

Or

“Government or policy”

Not

“Government not policy”

Exclusive Or

“Government xor policy”

? Wildcard search *

Government*

$ Synonym search

Use the synonym (or thesaurus) wildcard to find synonyms of a term.

% Word Stem search

work% finds word forms of the term work (such as work, works, or worked).

3. Searching just parts of the newspaper
The Newspaper Search template uses the field scope to search on only the relevant sections of Headline, Section, Column,
Byline and Date. You can access this feature by going to “Search” from the file menu and then selecting “Newspaper Search”.

The Advanced Query dialog (F2) gives you the greatest control over how Folio Views searches the newspaper.
Changing the scope of your search allows you to focus on a particular subset of the newspaper.
You may limit the scope of your search to a particular contents heading, level, field, highlighter, note, group, or popup.
You will need to set an opening bracket  as well as a closing bracket  to enclose your scope and search term.
After you have selected your scope you need to set a colon (:) before typing in or selecting your search keyword.
Boolean or phrase searches can be used.

Example: [Field Section: Sport]
