<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Settings, General tab |
On the General tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Options , you can make general settings:
"User info" button
Here, you can enter your name, address and other contact information. To insert this information in documents, use the USERFIELD function.
Furthermore, the data typed in the "Name" field will appear when comments are added.
Maximum number of undo steps
Here, you can set how many actions can be undone with the command Undo (in the Quick access toolbar). You can increase this number up to a maximum of 999 undo operations.
Note: On devices with little main memory, it is not recommended to increase this value.
For information on the command Undo, see Undoing changes.
Extended support for Asian fonts
Note: This option affects only text frames. In table cells, only one font can be selected at a time.
If this option is enabled – for text in text frames only – three lists for selecting font, font size, font style and language appear on the Font tab in the dialog box of the command group Home | Character:
▪For Latin scripts (for example, German, English)
▪For East Asian scripts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
▪For complex scripts (for example, Arabic)
Thus, you can make the settings for each type of script separately.
If, for example, you set the font to "Arial" for Latin scripts and the font to "SimHei" for Asian scripts, all Latin scripts that you type will automatically appear in Arial, and all Asian scripts will appear in SimHei.
PlanMaker recognizes automatically whether the characters entered are Latin, Asian or complex (for example, Arabic) scripts.
Extended support for Arabic text
If you enable this option, some additional features will become available for editing text in Arabic script. For more information, see Working with Arabic text.
Use the insert key to control overwrite mode
This option is enabled by default and has the effect that you can toggle between Insert mode and Overwrite mode with the Ins key (see also section Status bar).
If you remove the checkmark in front of this option, this typical function of the Ins key is disabled, when you are working in PlanMaker. This prevents accidental switching to overwrite mode.
Show warning when loading OLE objects
Mac, Linux, Android/iOS only: If this option is enabled, the program displays a warning that OLE objects cannot be displayed when you open a document containing such objects. (OLE objects can only be displayed on Windows.)
