What I mean is, I don't need my two top toolbars, that would make the indexing screen bigger. Is there a simple way to do that?

    Hello Nanlwar,

    If you do not kneed to see your toolbar, this article can help you.

    If you need more screen space when indexing, hide the toolbar. You can show it again as needed.

    Steps

    1. On an open batch, click Data Entry in the upper left corner.
    2. Check or uncheck Show Toolbar. 

    Hope this answers your question.

    Also - if your browser has too many toolbars you should be able to adjust that in the browser settings (menu usually in upper right corner). If you use F11 on keyboard or Function 11 (Fn+F11 on my laptop) that will also make the Indexing interface 'full screen" - I think this is what you want. You will also find this in Chrome menu - the box next to the Zoom options.

    Hi Nanlwar.

    Before turning off the very useful Horizontal Toolbar, try @genthusiast 's suggestion of clicking F11. It acts like a "toggle." If you click it once your browser goes to "full screen" mode, chopping off the top three rows of information (tabs, address bar, and bookmarks) and hiding your taskbar at the bottom of your screen, giving you much more room for your image. And if you click it again, it reverts to the original look. Try clicking it a few times to see the effect. It's substantial. You should be able to keep the indexing toolbar and still be happy with the extra room F11 provides.
