    How do I expand child folders in the main screen?


    I have child folders that I would like to know how to expand so that a screen shot of all items in the parent folder could be taken. How do I expand a child folder to open on the same screen?

    Hello rsmck,

    A hierarchy view of folders is already provided in the Navigation Pane. Are you seeing it?

    Not yet

    I can't read your screen shot very well. Are you under library?

    Okay, after trying your screen shot possibility, I find that maybe I need to be more detailed. I have the main folder named 4075 inside that I have four other subfolders how do I expand them in the same screen since there is not a +- by it?

    It don't make any sense at all, Do you mean to make the icons bigger or the folder capacity?

    Sorry,

    Due to the nature of our business I can't do a screen shot but here is an example

    - 4377
    topic a folder(this doesn't not have an option in the same screen to expand)
    topic b folder
    +topic c folder(this does have a option to expand)
    I wanted to know if there was a way to expand the folder that doesn't have the +- option by it, while in the same screen instead of clicking on it and it not show all the other folders as well:

    -4377
    topic a folder (this is what I want to see on one screen)
    ab folder
    abc folder
    abcd folder
    topic b folder
    ba folder
    bad folder
    +topic c folder(this does have a option to expand)

    I guess I'm still a little confused. Are you talking about the navigation pane or the main window?
