Clicking on the gray arrows shifts the image window toward that end of the chromosome so that the next item in the track is displayed. Similarly, the <em>Next/previous exon navigation</em> configuration option displays white double-headed arrows on the end of any item that extends off the edge of the current image. Clicking on one of the white arrows shifts the image window to the next exon in the indicated direction, unless the image window interrupts an exon, in which case the window shifts to the edge of the current exon. If the image window happens to be within a 5' or 3' UTR, then clicking the arrows shifts the image window towards the start or end of the next coding region, not the end of the exon.</p> <a name="RIGHT_CLICK_NAV"></a> -<h3>Enabling the right-click navigation feature</h3> +<h3>Using the right-click navigation feature</h3> <p> Several of the common display and navigation operations offered on the Genome Browser tracks page may be quickly accessed by right-clicking on a feature on the tracks image and selecting an option -from the displayed popup menu.

When enabled, the right-click navigation feature replaces the default contextual popup menu typically displayed by the Internet browser when a user right-clicks on the tracks image. A few combinations of the Mozilla Firefox browser on Mac OS do not support the right-click menu functionality using secondary click; in these instances, ctrl+left-click must be used to display the menu.</p> -<h3>Printing a copy of the annotation track window</h3> +<h3 id="print">Printing a copy of the annotation track window</h3> <p> The Genome Browser provides a mechanism for saving a copy of the currently displayed annotation tracks image to a file that can be printed or edited. Images saved in PostScript format can be printed at high resolution and edited by drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator. This is useful for generating figures intended for publication. Images can also be saved in PDF format for viewing by Adobe Acrobat Reader.</p> <p> To print or save the image to a file: <ol> <li> In the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen, from the "View" menu, click the "PDF/PS" link.</li> <li> Click one of the PDF or EPS links.</li> </ol>
