This command brings up a dialog box which lets you configure the way Label Manager works to suit you fancy. You see, I figured that everyone is different and the only way to please everyone is to let them decide what they like best.
Under the Open With: sub–heading, there are four radio buttons which control what Label Manager does when you first open it. Here is a list of the radio buttons, and what they will cause Label Manager to do:
EMPTY DESKTOP — This option will simply cause Label Manager to load itself up and wait for you to preform and action.
NEW “UNTITLED” DOCUMENT — This option will cause Label Manager open with a new, empty database of labels each time you run it. This is essentially the same as choosing New from the FILE menu.
MINIFINDER DIALOG — If this option is selected, when you first open Label Manager, you will be presented with an listing of all the Label Manager databases on your disk(s) just as if you had chosen the Open… command from the FILE menu.
OPEN WITH: — If you know which label file you will be working with all the time, this option allows you to specify the file which Label Manager will open automatically when it starts up. This is very handy if you maintain only one list of labels which you use all the time. When you click on this button, you will presented with a list of all the label files your disks. Simply select the one you would like Label Manager to open when it starts up and click on the Open button.
You can choose the field which Label Manager uses to sort and display your labels by clicking on one of the two options under the Sort By: sub–heading.
If you choose the Zip Code option, the labels will be sorted by zip code for display and printing. You can save a signifigant amount of money by sorting your mail by zip code for the post office, so no matter how you like your labels displayed while you are working with them, you might want to click on the Zip Code option just before you print your labels.
If you would like Label Manager to warn you before allowing you to delete any labels from your label file, check the Confirm Deletes checkbox. Otherwise, Label Manager will assume you know what you are doing and delete the labels right away.
Label Manager will optionally “Optimize” your label files when you close them. This optimizing takes only a few seconds, and it signifigantly speeds up the opening of a database and its general operation. But you can turn it off if you want to.
