Each view is split into two panes ( see ).

On the left : a text pane,
On the right, space is available to contain objects. Most of the time this pane is minimized but the splitbar can be used to reveal it.

These objects are managed by other software programmes that are present on the computer and whose activation is triggered by TeXT Handler. Instances of these may include:

another text (prompts, helper text, encyclopedia reference, dictionary entry)
graphics
drawings and photographs
audio clips
video clips
animations
spreadsheets
links to encyclopedia entries, Internet links (URLs)

The objects are activated by double-clicking them. Then they can be modified, completed, played, ... within TeXT Handler.

To insert an object, click on the right-hand side of the window, choose Insert Object menu item in the Edit menu. You will be prompted for the available objects.

Workspaces can be saved as .th files, for later use.
