All of the regions of the Main window can be resized for conve-
nient viewing. In addition, under the View menu on a Macintosh is
the Layout submenu with selections for rearranging the Main window
as to placement of the Command, Results, Variables, and Properties
regions. This same functionality is available on a Windows PC by
simply dragging the window region to a new location.
Viewer windows are where information about commands or statisti-
cal procedures appear. There is an extensive online help system built into
Stata. In addition, if you have an Internet connection you can simultane-
ously search Web resources for additional help. There can be more than
one Viewer window open at a time, so multiple pieces of information can
be available simultaneously. You can open a new Viewer window from
under the Window menu. The blue texts within a Viewer window are
links to other information. This information may be on your computer or,
if you have an Internet connection, it can be retrieved from remote sites.
At the top of the Viewer window are several icons, buttons, and
an input field (Figure 1.4). The input field is where you would type
“help” with a Stata command or “search” with a term you are looking
