Test sequence to view all Wizard panels
Use this page for instructions on displaying all of the Wizard panels and
all variations of labeling on the panels.
Start The Panorama Factory application. The first Wizard panel
should appear. If you have already started The Panorama Factory or if
you have selected Next time use the Classic interface you may need to
use the New project wizard command (File menu).
NOTE: In V5, the Wizard "tips" (text displayed with the
light-bulb icons) are shown only when the panel is floating (not docked).
If the Wizard panel is docked to the left, right, top or bottom of the
screen, you must press the light-bulb button to see the "tips". These
instructions assume that you are running with the Wizard panel docked.
The Wizard panels have three layouts--floating, horizontal (docked at top

each Wizard panel in all three configurations to be sure your strings look
right.
