Using the Dialog Box with Settings for the List

You can make a number of settings for the appearance, functions, and printing of the list. The Settings dialog box is available for this purpose.

You can apply the settings to the list in different ways:

● Apply settings without closing the dialog box

● Apply settings and close the dialog box

● Cancel settings

You finish working in the dialog box and close it without apply the settings to the list.

Applying Settings to the List

To...	Proceed as follows:	Comments
Open the dialog box	In the application bar, choose with the quick info text Open Settings Dialog.	A separate area containing the tab pages and other UI elements for setting the properties is displayed above the list. The list can be set up in such a way that the dialog box is not displayed as a separate area in the application window, but as a separate dialog box.
Apply settings without closing the dialog box	In the dialog box, choose Apply.	The settings are applied to the list and the dialog box remains open. This allows you, for example, to test the effect of various settings without having to reopen the dialog box each time. If the list is displayed as a separate dialog box, you can only see the effects of the new settings when you close the dialog box.
Apply settings and close the dialog box	In the dialog box, choose OK.	The settings are applied to the list. The dialog box is closed.
Cancel	In the dialog box, choose Cancel.	The settings for the list are not changed. The dialog box is closed.
