Pan Mode

Use the Pan feature to move around the screen easily. The Pan feature works when you are Zoomed In on part of the screen, making the scroll bars visible at the right and bottom of the work area.

Hold the Shift key down until the pan cursor

appears, then click and drag.

The pan occurs in real time, that is you see the work area move as you drag across the screen.

Alternatively, use the Overview Window to move around the screen when Zoomed In.
