3.2.1.1 Drilling down to find
a section or setting
The process goes like this:
- Select a project (thus identifying
the project configuration file), or designate another configuration file;
all other files or templates referenced from that initial file via [Templates] settings can
be included in the current Configuration Manager session.
- Decide what kinds of settings
you want to work with: general configuration settings, formats, language
settings, macros, or content models
- Pick what you want to do: add,
change, delete, restore, copy, move, or merge a setting or a whole section.
- Pick the section (and possibly
setting) to work on. At this point you can see where the item occurs
in all the configuration files included in the current session; and you
see the scope of effect of each value.
- Pick the file where you want
the change to take place.
- Apply your selections to make
the change.
For example, suppose you wish to change the bullet
style for unordered-list elements that are mapped to the Bulleted2 output
format, for the document involved in your current project, and for any
related conversion projects that work on this document. You would follow
these steps:
- Start the Configuration Manager
and select your project.
- Because Bulleted2 is an
paragraph format for an unordered-list item, choose configuration category
Unordered (under List Formats, under Paragraph Formats,
under Text Formats).
- Choose the action to perform:
Edit one setting in section.
- Choose the section where the
setting occurs: Bulleted2.
- Choose list style from
the list of settings that are present in some or all definitions of Bulleted2 that can
affect your project.
- Choose, from a list of the format
configuration files accessed by your project, the file that is specific
to the document for this project.
- Choose a different value for
list style.
- Click Finish action,
and you are done.
