## 2.2. Creating a New Lesson

When Pauker is started, a window appears similar to the following one:

With the “Add New Cards” button, new cards are added to the current lesson. Pressing this button will open a dialog similar to the one shown below:

The following card editing functions are available:

Basic Editing

These are the well known editing functions undo, redo, cut, copy and paste.

Text Orientation

The left button sets the text orientation left-to-right, as needed e.g. by the most Western European Languages. The right button sets the text orientation right-to-left, as needed e.g. for inserting Arabic or Hebrew on a card side.

Insert TAB

Because the TAB key is used here to navigate between the dialog controls this button is needed for inserting a TAB into a card side.

Split Orientation

Here you can configure if the card sides should be displayed side by side or on top of each other.

Font properties

With these buttons the font, font size, bold, italic, font color and background color can be set per card side.

Below are two text fields for entering the front and reverse side of a card. The size proportion of the card front side to the reverse side can be adjusted by the slider between them. The repeating method of this card can be set by the combobox below. If “Repeat by Remembering” is selected you just have to “think” the card reverse sides and decide for yourself, if the answer was right or wrong. If “Repeat by Typing” is selected, you have to type in the reverse side of the card letter by letter when repeating the card.

At the bottom of this dialog is a list of cards that are similar to the current card. This helps preventing unnecessary multiple card inputs. If you do not like to see this list you can hide it with the small down arrow at the slider above.

Pressing “OK” will add the card to the current lesson batch in the unlearned pile. If you want to add several cards at once, you can select the checkbox “Keep Dialog Open”.
