Decimal separator
Here you can specify the character to be used as a decimal separator.
This setting only affects the behavior of decimal tab stops. If you change the
separator character from a period to a comma, for example, numbers at decimal tab
stops will be aligned not on periods but on commas.
“Compatibility” button
This button provides access to settings that affect functions internal to the program,
in order to improve compatibility with documents created in older versions of
TextMaker or in Microsoft Word. These options are set automatically when such a
document is opened and normally should not be changed.
Document properties, Colors property sheet
The Colors property sheet in the File > Properties dialog allows you to add and
edit custom colors for the current document.
When you open a color list – for example, the color list in the Formatting toolbar –
you see only a small subset of the more than 16 million colors that are available.
This subset is called the color palette of the document.
You can modify this color palette at any time. You can add new colors and modify
colors you have added. However, the first 24 colors in the palette are default colors
than cannot be changed.
Important: Changes in the color palette are saved in the document. Thus, you
can compose a different color palette for every document.
Adding a color
To add a color to the palette of the current document, do the following:
1. Invoke the command File > Properties and switch to the Colors property
sheet.
Tip: Alternatively, you can gain access to this dialog from any other dialog
box that contains a color list. To do this, select the Define color... entry in the
color list (the last entry).
