COMPACT VIEW
Compact View provides a small window to enable you to use the standard lookup facility of Postcode and modify, insert, and print labels for addresses all from a window with a small footprint on your desktop - leaving you with plenty of space on your screen to work with another application at the same time.
To switch to Compact View, select Compact from the View menu (or press [Ctrl]+W).
To return to Normal View (ie the standard Postcode screen size) press [Ctrl]+W whilst in Compact View or click the Close button.
If you'd like Compact View to remain on top of all other applications then select 'On Top' ([Ctrl]+T) from the Postcode View Menu before switching to Compact View.

To lookup an address simply type the postcode or STD code with optional property information into the lookup box as you would in Normal View. Postcodes will be looked up automatically as you type them. For other lookups press the 'Enter' key or click the 'Lookup' button once you have completed typing your lookup.
If you'd like to change the county option, or other options that relate to how the address is returned or displayed then set this up from the Normal View.
Complex lookups will revert automatically to Normal View, once you have selected an address you can use [Ctrl]+W to switch back to Compact View.
After looking up an address you can add Organisation and Property information to the address before inserting it by typing it straight into the fields provided. You can also add a Name to go onto any labels that you print from Compact Mode. Other address fields can be added if it is necessary.
Pressing the Insert button or pressing F2 will insert the address currently displayed into the default application using the settings file specified by the chosen association for that application, or the settings file currently open where no association for that application exists. Settings can be changed from Normal View. The default application will be the last application you inserted into.
If you have not inserted into an application then you will be presented with a pop-up menu from which to insert the application from. If you wish to change the application that Compact Mode inserts into then right click the Insert button and the pop-up list will be displayed for you to select an application from. This list is the same as that displayed on the Insert menu of the Normal View.
To print a label for the currently displayed address simply click the 'Print' button. To setup the Label for printing correctly on your printer and for specifying options (eg if a barcode is required to be printed) use the Label Tab in Normal View.
