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.
