Remove the Navigation Pane Mini tool bar

I have Robo Wizard's skinny on skins (which has been a GREAT
HELP) to see if there is some magical way of making this little
critter disappear. The only suggestion there is to set the bar size
to 1 so it is still there but can't be seen.
The problem is I have to work to very tight accessibility
rules and have Jack boot wearing autocrats enforcing them. I have
managed with the remnants of a smile to comply some how with all
the requirements, from related topics buttons that are text and not
buttons, relative text sizes everywhere including the related
topics pop up to banishing tables and images.
If I just hide the tool bar I'm going to have continued
criticism over the use of frames, which I will have difficulty
defending if I have item there that aren't used or seen.
So to finally get to the point, does anyone know how to
remove the mini tool bar?

Unfortunately that's just a variation on the making the bar
invisible but it still existing route. What I need is a way to
remove the tool bar all together. What I don't want is the minibar
to still exist and screen reader software still listing it when it
performs no function in our help.
I have looked to see which files define the minibar and it
appears to be mainly in the whmsg java script file but it does not
look like alterations to just this file will remove the bar from
the help output entirely.
Can the minibar be removed or am I stuck with more redundant
code, frames etc cluttering up the output?

Microsoft Word 2010 Hiding/Removing the Navigation Pane for Roaming Profiles

Hello all,
I am attempting to do what the title says. We are using Citrix Profile Manager...basically roaming profiles and when updating the Office version to 2010, users are displayed the Navigation Pane. If the NavPane is closed,
when they reopen their Citrix session it is back to default displaying the NavPane. Any help on getting this removed would be greatly appreciated.
I have so far attempted to create a macro Normal.dotm and works partially, however it is not consistent as each time it appears that the modified Normal.dotm becomes overwritten with a default one. I have also added this modified Normal.dotm to the
Default user profile locally on the server...to which it does not seem to pull.
Update:
I am currently looking to see on how to redirect the Normal.dotm away from %appdata%\microsoft\templates to a central location and have this applied to all users either user GPO or a per machine setup....but can't find anything specifically for Word 2010
configuration. Any help on this would also be beneficial.

Regarding the Navigation Pane. The setting for displaying it is indeed in the Windows Registry but it is part of a binary data key and thus mere mortals like us are not able to change it. You need a macro... see this link for an example.

Regarding changing the location of Word's Normal template via GPO it can be done. See below link. However, as is pointed out in the link, the recommendation is not to do so. If the central location server is down, no one will be able to create documents.
In addition, if someone accidentally or purposely alters/corrupts the Normal template... everyone is effected.

I was working on configuring my persona look and removed the navigation bar, now I cannot get Firefox to allow me to bring it back. I've right clicked all over the header and no option to replace it is given. What do I do?

Unable to reinstate Navigation Bar.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I removed the navigation bar to try setting up a better configuration for my new persona.

tim,
From the Menu Bar, try View -> Toolbars -> Navigation Bar, and/or View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and '''Restore Default Set''' in the dialog that appears.
If the menu bar isn't visible either, press Alt, then V, T, M to make it stay.
If that doesn't work, you can reset the toolbar customizations, using the ''Reset toolbars and controls'' option in the [[Safe Mode]] dialog with the '''Make changes and Restart''' option: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window

How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default in a programmable way?

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to make a PDF file not showing navigation pane when it is opened, in a programmable way.
I have referred to the PDF references, and found a ViewerPreferences dictionary which can control the viewer appearance, and there is a entry
Key
Type
Value
HideWindowUI
boolean
(Optional) A flag specifying whether to hide user interface elements in
the document’s window (such as scroll bars and navigation controls),
leaving only the document’s contents displayed. Default value: false.
But after I specified the HideWindowUI with true, the navigation pane is still showing up with the bookmark expanded.
I know there is a way by specifying the opening parameter with "navpanes=0" with command line or change the windows registry. But I can't do this because I can't ask every of my customers do this way.
Could someone provide suggestions or insights on that?
Thanks!

Hi Rave,
I have ever seen this method before, but it can't address my problem. I can't ask my customers to change their registry, cause I even don't know who they are...
What I can control is just the content of the PDF file.
Thanks anyway!

Can I permanently disable the navigation pane in HTML help?

My company has a web-based application on MicroStrategy platform.
I have created a customized WebHelp to replace the MicroStrategy out of the box help and that works just fine.
We are developing the MicroStrategy Office add-in for Excel for our clients.
Once installed, a CHM file is copied to the client's local hard drive.
We want to replace this with our own customized help.
I have created a CHM file with ONE topic that redirects the clients to our customzied WebHelp with content for the add-in.
The one topic has a redirect in the HTML header code as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://customhelp.htm#AddIn_Introduction.htm" />
That is working fine in my testing.
Here is my problem...
The HTML Help Viewer opens and automatically hides the Navigation Pane and displays the WebHelp (navigation pane, menu bar and topic pane).
But, the HTML Help Viewer still has the Hide/Show button to Hide/Show the navigation pane for the HTML help.
Is there ANY way to disable this or hide it or let it stay there but disable the navigation pane?
As always, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks --
Michael F Weart

Amebr and Priyank --
Thanks - that did exactly what I wanted it to do.
It did not work in my testing, but I think the KEY point that I missed was the sequence of unchecking the options in the Window setup.
Now I have a one topic CHM help file that automatically redirects to my WebHelp on my application server.
The CHM opens and automatically redirects to my WebHelp and the WebHelp (frameset and all) display in an HTML Help Viewer window that has no HTML Help Viewer navigation buttons.
One last note, the WebHelp displays with the Contents/Index/Search for WebHelp included in the presentation.
I have not deployed this in a non-test environment so I may still run into issues but so far it is good.
THANKS for all the help.

Mini tool bar missing in mail

I scroll through my incoming mail and find a message I want to reply to or forward. I move my cursor to the body of the message and swipe up and down to try to make the mini tool bar (trash reply reply all forward) appear within the message. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I've tried clicking on the message and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?

Thanks but it's not the main toolbar at the top of the mail window. It's the "mini toolbar" that appears within an email message as shown below. Sometimes it shows up so that I can click to reply, forward, or trash and sometimes no matter how what I try, it won't show up.

How do i remove the preview pane in imail

Hi;
After watching the Key Note i downloaded Mavericks with great anticipation and I have been sadly dissapointed, constant beach balling and software not working and iv'e lost my Win XP partition!!!
Anyway I am wading through the problems one by one.
The latest problem is that when I open mail I want to get rid of the preview pane, searching on google for OSX10 suggest that if you double click on the separator bar it will disappear however not in my case!!!
How do I remove the reading pane??
Thanks

I just bought the latest Macbook Pro and I have tried double clicking, which did not work, and dragging. But it only lets me drag it part of the way. I cannot completely drag it out of the frame. Also, is there a way to have the email list show just the reciepients and not part of the message?

I have lost the upper and lower tool bars on the Firefox home page. Now I have to scroll my mouse to the top of the screen in order to bring them up. How can I get the bars back?

The home page fills my entire screen now and it didn't before. This happened about a week ago. I tried to do a Restore on my system but the problem still exists. The Firefox button on the left has disappeared too.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Sequence of free characteristic in the Navigation pane

Hi Experts,
How can we specify a sequence to the free characteristics in the navigation pane in WAD (BI 7)
for eg: i have to specify: in the wad like this
1. Zone manager
2. Area manager
3. Region manager
4. District manager
As of now i only see one option, which alphabetically sorts it out, but i dont want that. I need to specify as per the above sequence.
Points would be rewarded suitably.
Regards,

Hi,
Its the standard way the SAP behaves. Maybe you have to live with it.
The only way around i can suggest is to have the following desc either starting with numbers or with alphabets:
1. Zone manager
2. Area manager
3. Region manager
4. District manager
OR
a. Zone manager
b. Area manager
c. Region manager
d. District manager
Regds,

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Reader XI - How do I hide the Navigation Pane by default?

Every time I open a pdf I have to manually hide the Navigation Pane as it is taking up valuable real estate on my screen. Is there a way to hide it by default in Reader XI? I've seen it mentioned elsewhere but I've failed to find a satisfactory answer.
Thanks in advance!

Hi rammo123,
For Adobe Reader XI, I change the below mentioned registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.11\shell\Read\command
To read:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "navpanes=0" "%1"

Can I adjust the width of the navigation pane?

Hello, I've got a WebHelp project. It will generally be used on touchscreens. This forum gave me great advice on making the fonts bigger for TOC and Indiex items by going to the WebHelp Skin Editor.
Well, I was wondering if I could actually make the width of the navigation pane wider. In the Skin Editor, you can drag the pane (like you can in compiled help, but that doesn't seem to hold upon compilation. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi there
Two things
Yes, you can adjust the pane. Check out the Skinny on Skins for detailed steps. Click here
Please submit a Wish Form to ask for this ability in the Skins Editor
Cheers... Rick

Controlling the Navigation Pane from Topic links

I've followed Rick Stone's instructions (in his Skinny on Skins tips file) for controlling the navigation pane from topic links, but I've included the reference to whtbar.js in my Master Page (as I want it to be available to all my topics) instead of in a single topic in my WebHelp output. It works fine, however, I'm experiencing a page flicker whenever I click a link which opens the TOC, Index, Glossary, etc. Does anyone know if this can be avoided?
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Willam
No your method still works fine thanks (without any page flicker). However, it only opens and closes the navigation pane. What I've been playing around with is the idea of hiding the standard WebHelp toolbar by setting its height to zero in the .SKN and then creating my own toolbar in a Master Page that controls the navigation pane, i.e. with Home, Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary links. That way I have more control over how the toolbar looks and, for example, I can use some script to power drop-down menus, etc. I've been looking at using the Bootstrap framework.
I seems to work okay, apart form the annoying page flicker when I use the links in my custom toolbar.
Oh well, maybe I'm trying to push the boundaries a little too far?!
Thanks anyway,
Jonathan

Removing the preview pane in iCloud

I didn't know where to send the suggestion for this or if I'm just not looking in the right place for it. I would like to be able to remove the preview pane in my iCloud mail. It's really the biggest thing keeping me from using iCloud for email; I don't like having it automatically open the email, since I have gotten spam in that account. I do use the MacMail program on my desktop for my mail most of the time, so I'm able to remove the panel there, however, accessing it from another computer means I don't have access to MacMail and have to deal with opening every single email, even the ones I'd rather just delete.
If there a setting I'm missing or a place I could suggest this to Apple? I don't have the newest OS yet, did that change anything? (figuring not, since this is an issue with the iCloud website itself)
Thanks!
