When you click Discussion
in the menubar, you will
see a list. Under each category, you'll see any topics and replies
that have been added. To view the categories and all the topics and
replies, click Expand All
. To view just the categories, click
Collapse All
.
If a topic has replies, click the small paper stack icon to expand the view so that a top-level item and all the replies below it are visible.
The Discussion tool uses two frames to display discussion topics and
replies. You can change the layout to a vertical (two-column) or
horizontal (two-row) layout by using the "View:" drop-down list. In
the Column Layout
, the left frame shows the hierarchy of
categories, topics, and replies. Clicking a topic or reply shows the
content of the message in the right frame.
In the Row Layout
, the top frame shows the hierarchy of
categories, topics, and replies; the content appears in the bottom
frame.
