ABSTRACT:
A method and system for changing the area in which to view the content of a document while maintaining access to various viewing options. In a first state, toolbar items are displayed in a toolbar area while a document is displayed in a document area. In changing to a second viewing state, certain items of the toolbar area are hidden while a menu toolbar item remains displayed. In addition, the document area is expanded to include the now-minimized toolbar area. The menu toolbar item may become semi-transparent during the second viewing state, provides access to viewing options, and also allows the viewing state to be changed back to the first viewing state.
