Setting Document Properties

The Options dialog box contains System Options and Document Properties. Document properties apply to the active document and to document templates rather than to the software environment.

There are several document properties that you can set to customize a template. This topic introduces you to a subset of these properties. You can set additional document properties during this lesson if you find ones that are suitable to your needs.

For system options, which are remembered through multiple sessions and releases of the software, see System Options.
