Preview in

[mihiri2]

Hi,

I used to use SS version 2011.1.919. That version did have a preview button in the main menu below Save Report, Save As, Delete Page optons.
However we recently upgraded to 2014.3 and I don't see the preview option under any menu
(Please note I am not talking about the preview tab)
Is this no longer available with 2014.3?

Regards

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

I did remove the folder but it did not seem to have helped...
I have attached a document with screen prints for you to have a look.
Please help.

Thanks

Hello.

We have removed this item from the Office 2013 theme.
You could use Preview tab or F5 keyboard shortcut for preview.

Thank you.

Thanks Aleksey.
I am bit disapointed to hear that.
I definitely don't want to use the preview tab, always find it not very flexible to work with.
F5 is something I can use but I find that there is an issue with it too.
If I am anywhere on the actual page, pressing F5 does bring up the preview. However if my current focus is on a data source, a variable etc.. F5 won't work.
Please note that this used to work with previous version- we were using(2011.1.919)

Hello.

What is wrong with preview tab?
You could use Office 2010 theme.

Thank you.

If I use preview, I can look at the output and design at the same time, but not if I use preview tab.

But more to the point should be why would you want to remove important features when you are upgrading?

and the issue with F5 is a bug according to me..

and what did you mean by "You could use Office 2010 theme."? What can I use it for?

Thanks
