Buttons

Start recording time by clicking on the Start button.  The Start button then becomes the Stop button.  This action appends a new time entry to the list of time entries.  The new time entry is the active time entry, and it is displayed in italicized text (see previous chapter).  If the Start/Stop button is grayed out (disabled), that most likely means you have the timer going, but you no longer have the active time entry selected.  Click on the active time entry to select it, and the Start/Stop button will no longer be grayed out.

Stop recording time to the active time entry by clicking on the Stop button.  This button is disabled unless only the active time entry is selected.  See Start button above for more information.

Pause time by clicking on the Pause button.  The Pause button then becomes the Resume button.   This button is disabled unless only the active time entry is selected.  See Start button above for more information.

Resume recording time by clicking on the Resume button.  This button is disabled unless only the active time entry is selected.  See Start button above for more information.

Restart recording time to an existing time entry by clicking on the Restart button.  This button is disabled unless only one time entry is selected and the timer is off.  See Start button above for more information.

Pop-Up Menus

Font and Size pop-up menus let you set the font and font size of each displayed column.  Click on a column name (such as “Start Date” or “Elapsed”) to highlite the name, and then select the desired font and font size from the pop-up menus.  To un-highlite the column name, click on the column name again.  Note: it's best to use a good screen font such as Geneva.

Special Keys

Arrow keys can be used to move up and down the time entries when only one time entry is selected.  The up arrow selects the previous entry, the down arrow selects the next entry, the left arrow selects the top entry, and the right arrow selects the last entry.

Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys on extended keyboards move up and down the time entry list.
