The tabs

You can navigate between the Outputs Tab, Variables and Questions tab, Data tab and Notes tab by clicking on the tabs themselves, which are located at the bottom-left of the screen: 

Each table also has a pair of tabs in the bottom-left corner. These allow you to toggle between the table view and a list showing any Rules that have been applied to this table. 

Similarly, charts show these two tabs, with an additional one to view the Table of data which has been used to create the chart.

Jumping between tabs

Pressing the  button located to the right of the Blue and Brown Drop-down Menus select the variables being viewed in the Variables and Questions tab. Pressing  for a variable in the Variables and Questions tab selects the variable in the Data tab.

The  button, to the left of the Filter drop-down automatically takes you to the first of the filters. The  button automatically takes you to the currently selected weight.

Double-clicking on a variable's name in the Data tab selects the variable in the Variables and Questions tab. Double clicking on the row number of a variable in the Variables and Questions tab selects the question in the blue drop-down menu of the selected table on the Outputs Tab.
