View command buttons are made available dependent on the selection made on the related command ribbon.
The highlighted button designates the Active view.

Click to view an example of the use of page scroll bars in Split window mode
The page scroll bars 
at the far left only work when the drawing window is minimised to the extent that all the available page tabs don't fit. When the scroll bars are available, the applicable arrows are darker e.g. 
means that you can scroll right.
Clicking on the asterisk will allow you to create new pages. A dialog will be presented allowing you to select:-
- Yes: Copy page properties from current page to new page.
- No: Create a blank page.
Right clicking on a page tab provides a menu selection, which allows you to "Show [Common] Page". This is useful when creating templates as objects placed on page zero appear on every page.
To rename, select the required page and use the right click menu to select "Rename page". Then simply type in new name.
To delete, select the required page and use the right click menu to select "Delete page". A warning message will be presented to allow you to confirm if you want to continue with this command or not.
