You can hide the sidebar using the <menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Hide Sidebar</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu.

		 <para>In the <guilabel>Units</guilabel> tab, you can
			 choose the units. You can select if you prefer kJ/mol by default or
			 you can choose eV. The temperature is in Kelvin by default but you can 
			 change to degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, Reamur or Rankine. The
			 last two units are not often used today but can still be found
			 sometimes. Furthermore, they teach us, that temperatures are nothing
			 absolut. It doesn't matter, which unit you are using.

						 DVD as a <quote>Thank You</quote>. &kalzium; is licensed

				 <question>
					 <para>Will there ever be a &Windows; version?</para>
				 </question>
				 <answer>
					 <para>No, at the moment not, but you can download the source and make
						 your own &Windows; version. It should not be a big problem, because it is
						 written with Trolltech &Qt; libs. But what do you need &Windows; for?
						 Get the latest &Linux;, and live on the edge.</para>
