Much of the functionality of Sophie 2's menu bars is not currently implemented. Here is what the menu bars do:
The File menu generally contains things having to do with opening and saving Sophie books and their contents. It looks like this:
File > New Book will make a new Sophie book. Control-n does the same thing.
File > Open Book will open a Sophie book. Control-o does the same thing.
File > Save should save the current Sophie book. Control-s should do the same thing.
File > Save As should save the current Sophie book with a new name. Control-shift-s should do the same thing.
File > Save As Template should save the current Sophie book as a book template. This doesn't currently work.
File > Book Properties should show properties information for the current book. Control-b does the same thing. The window that appears looks like this.
Click OK to close it.
File > Close should close the current Sophie book. This does the same thing as clicking the X icon at the right of a book's status bar.
File > Quit Sophie 2 quits Sophie. Control-q does the same thing, as should clicking the X icon at the upper right of the Sophie window. If books are open, the user is asked if they want to save changes.
File > Print will print the current book to a printer if an appropriate printer exists.
File > Print to File will print the current book to a PostScript file, which can later be converted to a PDF. You will be prompted to select a location and a filename for the file.
The Edit menu generally contains things having to do with manipulating objects or text on a Sophie page. It looks like this:
Edit > Undo will undo the last action, if there is one that can be undone. Control-z does the same thing.
Edit > Redo will redo the last undone action, if there is one that can be undone. Control-y does the same thing.
Edit > Set Title will allow you to set the title for your current book. A window like this will appear:
Enter a tile, click OK, and the title will appear in the title bar of the currently selected book.
Edit > Set Page Dimensions will first ask you for a new width for your book:
If you click OK, you will then be asked for a new height for your book:
If you click OK again, your book will be resized.
Edit > Show Frame Connections will show the connections between text frames, if connections exist.
The Insert menu lets you insert content into your Sophie book. It looks like this:
Insert > Image should insert an image into your currently selected Sophie book.
Insert > Text will add a new text frame to your currently selected Sophie book.
Insert > Video will insert a video file into your currently selected Sophie book.
Insert > Audio will insert an audio file into your currently selected Sophie book.
Insert > PDF will insert a PDF into your currently selected Sophie book. Only the first page is inserted.
Insert > Book will insert a previously-saved Sophie book as an embedded book on the current page of your book.
The 'Window menu lets you manage the windows of your currently open Sophie books. It looks like this:
Every open book (like "My New Book", above) appears in this menu; the currently selected book has a + next to it.
Window > Cascade will cascade all of your currently open book windows.
Window > Tile will tile all of your currently open book windows.
The Help menu shows help for Sophie. The Help menu looks like this:
Help > Help Contents opens Sophie's internal help viewer. The help viewer looks like this:
It should contain the same documentation that you find online, but inside of Sophie for quick reference.
Help > About shows information about the current release of Sophie 2. Currently the About window looks like this:
Click OK to close this window.
The Skins menu allows you to choose different skins, which change the look and feel of Sophie. The Skins menu lists all skins that are currently installed in Sophie, including the default skin:
Note that these skins are not final; they are included as proof of concept.
