Setting general preferences
In the Preferences dialog box, you can set editing options. If you are using the Windows version of Contribute, you can also determine how Contribute handles Microsoft Office documents when you insert them in a page.
To set the General preferences:
- Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Contribute > Preferences (Macintosh), and then select General from the category list on the left.
- Select the options you want to set:
- Select or deselect Faster table editing.
When this option is enabled, Contribute does not always redraw a table as you edit it. Selecting this option might improve performance when you edit large tables. When you want Contribute to redraw the table, click outside the table, switch to another draft or the browser, or publish the draft.
- Select or deselect Enable screen reader support.
When this option is enabled, Contribute disables offscreen rendering of pages so that a screen reader can be used.
- Select a dictionary from the Spelling dictionary pop-up menu.
- (Windows Only) In the Microsoft Office documents section, select an option to specify the default action Contribute performs when you insert a Microsoft document in a draft.
Insert the contents of the document into the current draft copies the content of the selected document into the draft.
Insert document as FlashPaper into the current draft converts the document to a Flash movie file and inserts it in the draft.
Create a link to the document inserts a link to the selected document.
Ask whenever I insert a Microsoft Office document into Contribute lets you select how you want to insert the document.
- Click OK.
