Working with VivaDesigner
1 Program start

icon is in the Dock).
2 Create new document

dialog will appear. Click the mouse on “New Document”.

worked on one document and want to create a new
one, select the command New from the File menu.
3 When this command is selected, the dialog
Document Settings appears. In this dialog, you enter
the settings for the page format:

3 Save document
To save a new document, select the command Save as
in the File menu.

has got “lost”, by being unintentionally saved or
moved into another folder.)
