after you close the dialog box. This dialog
box is awkward in that you actually have
to print to make a change. (If you don’t
want to actually print a file, you must start
to print, and then abort the operation with
the cancel [“Command-Period”] command.
Otherwise, Word doesn’t save the change
as a default.)
Environmental Defaults
Environmental settings control how Word
displays text and operates. The fun-
damental setting is the Short menus/Full
menus toggle command on the Edit menu.
The Preferences dialog box, shown in
Figure 11-1 (with default settings),
controls the remaining environmental
settings. Word automatically saves
Preference changes in the configuration
file when you quit.

Display Defaults
Many of the Preferences dialog box
settings control display defaults, as shown
in Table 11-1 (see following page). The
default measure applies only to horizontal
(ruler) settings. Vertical spacing (line and
paragraph spacing, etc.) is always in
points. You can enter a specific figure,
using other dimensions, such as inches;
for example, you can type “.5 in” for
“After:” in the Paragraph dialog box.
However, the box always displays points
when you reopen; in this case, you would
see “36 pts.” Unfortunately, Word divides the pica ruler into tenths instead of points (twelfths), the division normally used for picas.
