Changing Defaults and Other Configuration Items
Saving Configuration With Document
Users can set a global configuration (so that it applies to all documents of this type), or can
connect the configuration to a specific document, which must exist as a file.
1. Load the document to which to connect the configuration or open any document of the
same type.
2. Set the configuration. For example, select the toolbars that should be visible or define
what is on the toolbars, menus or status bar and so on. All such configuration options are
found under Tools > Configure.
3. Click Save... in the dialogue under Tools > Configure. Another dialogue appears from
which to save the configuration.
4. In the File Type list box, select <All>.
5. In the large list box of the Save dialogue, select the file that is to be connected to the
configuration.
6. Click Save. A prompt appears, asking whether to replace the file or not. This query
concerns only the configuration connected to the document, not the “actual” contents of
the document.
7. Confirm overwrite.
The configuration is now connected to the active document. Check this by loading the
document and choosing File > Document Template > Organizer then double-clicking the
document.
As soon as one loads or opens this document, the configuration, that was saved with it,
becomes active. The global default configuration is restored when another document is
loaded or opened that does not contain custom configuration information. Select manual
settings at any time by choosing Tools > Configure and clicking the Reset button.
Inserting and Editing Tab Stops
Set a tab stop by clicking on the ruler. Alternatively, a user can set tab stops by choosing
Format > Paragraph. Both methods affect the current paragraph or all selected paragraphs.
Click the ruler once to set a left-justified tab. Right-click a tab icon on the ruler to see the
context menu in which the tab type can be changed.
To set several decimal tabs one after the other, keep clicking the icon to the left of the ruler
until the desired tab type is shown, then click on the ruler.
