Notebooks and Documents 173In the standard notebook front end, you can check and set options at any level by using theOption Inspector menu item. If you do not set an option at a particular level, then its valuewill always be inherited from the level above. Thus, for example, if a particular cell does not setthe CellFrame option, then the value used will be inherited from its setting for the style of thecell or for the whole notebook that contains the cell.As a result, if you set CellFrame -> True at the level of a whole notebook, then all the cells inthe notebook will have frames drawn around them~unless the style of a particular cell, or thecell itself, explicitly overrides this setting.† Choose the basic default styles for a notebook† Choose the styles for screen and printing style environments† Edit specific styles for the notebookWays to set up styles in a notebook.Depending on what you intend to use your Mathematica notebook for, you may want to choosedifferent basic default styles for the notebook.
