### Scrolling Mode

A cursor mode for scrolling a page.
When the left mouse button is pressed with the cursor over a document page, the cursor shape changes into a closed hand. As you drag the cursor in this state, the page moves with the cursor.
Window where the entire page is reduced is displayed while dragging with pressing the <Ctrl> key in scrolling mode. This window is called overall view window. The current location is shown as a box in the overall view window.
The operation you can perform is changing the zoom ratio only on the document view while displaying the overall view window.

- When you select a URL in text selecting mode and then select [Start Web Browser] from the pop-up menu, the browser opens showing the page of the URL.

### Tool Mode

A cursor mode for pasting an annotation. The cursor shape varies depending on the type of the annotation.
The cursor switches into the tool mode when you select an annotation tool or a paper tool from the annotation menu or the annotation toolbar.
When the pasting of the annotation or paper finishes, the cursor turns into pointing mode.
Note
If [Continuous Annotation Mode] in the [Annotations] menu has been selected, the cursor mode does not automatically change to other mode. Switch it by selecting a mode from the [View] menu.
