Manage

Click on this icon to select from a set of options for protecting the document from being edited or deleted, so that it is safe from accidental change. The Document Editor defaults to locking against protection, so you first turn off the lock and then protect either the whole document or a selected block of text.

• Protect Document - toggle between setting a lock to prevent any editing or deletion of the entire document, and removing protection so that changes can be made
• Text Selection Lock - remove the lock against setting protection on the text of the document
• Snap to Grid - (defaults to on) applies a grid to the tab markers and paragraph indents, so that they snap to the nearest sixteenth of an inch
• Watermark Picture - display an image file browser and select an image to use as a watermark in the document
• Remove Unused Lists - clear unused list formats from the file when you save it, to reduce file size

• Link to Existing Element - display the 'Select Classifier' dialog, through which you browse for and select an element to link to a highlighted text string
• Hyperlink - create a hyperlink from the highlighted text to an existing object in the model; the 'Hyperlink Details' dialog displays, through which you specify the type of object to link to, and its location
