This dialog box lets you set properties for individual documents. You can define word wrap, tab width, font name and size, and character set for the currently selected document. If the Default option is checked, the settings defined in the Documents tab of the Options dialog box are applied.
Word Wrap: Enable word wrap at window edge or wrap column.
Auto Indent: Use same indentation level as the last line of the previous paragraph (this is generally useful only when word wrap is off).
Trim White Spaces: Spaces at the end of paragraphs are removed when the document is saved.
Wrap to Column: Words wrap at the specified column (NoteTab Std: column wrap is not enforced when editing but is reproduced in saved file or when you choose the "Document | Update Column Wrap" menu command).
Scroll Past End of Line (only available in NoteTab Pro): Caret can move beyond the end of the current line. This option is ignored if word wrap is on.
Tab Size: Text Tab size. You can set multiple tab sizes in NoteTab Std by separating each value with a semi-colon (;). Values must be ordered in increasing sizes and represent the distance from the left margin.
Tab Units (only available in NoteTab Light/Std): Defines units used for tab size.
Type Tab (only available in NoteTab Pro): You can change the behavior of the editor by changing this option. If the tab type is set to Real, pressing <Tab> inserts a "real" tab character into the document. If the tab type is set to Fixed, pressing <Tab> inserts enough spaces to move the cursor to the next tab stop. (This is called "fixed tabs" because the position of existing text will not change if the tab size is later changed, as it does if real tabs are used.) If the tab type is set to Smart, spaces are also inserted into the document, but the positions of the tab stops are a function of the positions of the words in the previous line.
Font: Opens the Font dialog box so you can change the font used to display your document(s). NoteTab Std can show fixed- and variable-width fonts but cannot display fonts with OEM character sets (Terminal, MS Line Draw,...). On the other hand, NoteTab Pro can display fonts with OEM character sets but does not support variable-width fonts.
Save As: Saves document using original or specified file format. When "Original" is selected, the format (DOS/Windows, UNIX, EBCDIC, Mac) detected when a document is opened is used when it is next saved. Newly created documents use the DOS/Windows format when the option is set to "Original".
LRECL: This setting only applies to EBCDIC files. Use it to define or change the line record length. You can use values other than those listed.
Dos ASCII: Opens/saves document using ASCII character set. This option is only available in the Document Properties dialog box. Changing it will affect how the document is saved. If you want to convert the current text between ASCII and ANSI, use the "Modify | Convert to Ascii/Ansi Text" menu command. For example, if you convert an ASCII document to ANSI and want it to stay this way, just uncheck the DOS ASCII option; next time you save the file, it will keep its ANSI format. See the ASCII Documents topic for more details.
Use Default Settings: Uses settings defined in preferences dialog.
Document Properties are saved whenever the document or the editor is closed. All settings for up to the 256 (default value) most recently opened files are stored in a file called NOTETAB.FPR or NOTEPRO.FPR, which is placed in the program directory. You can change the number of settings that can be remembered by editing the field "Store Properties" on the Advanced tab. You can clear all memorized settings by clicking on the Clear Properties button, which is also located on the Advanced tab.
