Remember last dialog box position: Select to have PlanetPress Design remember the last screen position of each
type of dialog box, and, if the dialog box is resizable, the last size of the dialog box. Resizable dialog boxes include the
Text/Box properties dialog box and the Data Selector.
Remember last dialog box page: Use this to control the area that is displayed when you open a dialog box. Select
to have PlanetPress display the area that was visible when you last closed a dialog box of that type.

Editor Preferences
To set the Editor options:
1. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Preferences.
2. If necessary, expand PressTalk Editor, and click Editor.
Auto indent mode: Select to automatically position the insertion pointer under the first non-blank character of the
preceding line when you press ENTER.
Insert mode: Select to use Insert mode and clear to use Overwrite mode. When you enter text in Insert mode, the
existing text shifts to accommodate it. In Overwrite mode, the text you enter overwrites the existing text. You can also
press INSERT to toggle between Insert and Overwrite mode.
Use tab character: Select to use the tab character instead of spaces to represent tabs in the program file. Clear to
use spaces to represent the tabs. You must clear the Smart tab option to use this option.
Smart tab: Select to use smart tabs. A smart tab advances with reference to the preceding line. More precisely, it
advances to align with the first non-blank character it encounters on the preceding line, from its current position for-
ward. You must clear the Use tab character option to use Smart tabs.
Optimal fill: Select to optimize the indent of every auto-indented line by minimizing the number of space and/or tab
characters it uses. You must select both Auto indent mode and Use tab character to use this option.
Backspace unindents: Select to move the insertion pointer to the previous indentation level when you press BACK-
SPACE.
Cursor through tabs: Select to move one by one through the spaces of tabs using the left or right arrow keys. Clear
to have the arrow keys treat the tab as a single character. You must select Use tab character to use this option.
Group undo: Select to set the undo feature of the Editor to undo the last group of editing commands entered. An edit-
ing command is defined as a mouse click, a press on ENTER, or a press on any other key. A group of editing commands
is a sequence of a single type of editing command. Clear to set the undo feature to undo only the last command
entered.
Cursor beyond EOF: Select to make it possible to position the pointer beyond the end of the last line of code in the
program. This is useful if you prefer to enter code by clicking the pointer at any point in the Editor, rather than by man-
ually entering carriage returns or lines of code to advance to that point. For example, you might know you need a for()
loop near the middle of your code. If you select Cursor beyond EOF, you can click in the middle of the Editor and enter
the first line of the for() loop, without having to enter carriage returns to arrive at that point. Clear to prevent being able
to position the pointer beyond the end of the last line entered to date in the Editor.
Cursor beyond EOL: Select to make it possible to position the pointer beyond the last character entered to date on a
line of code. This is useful if you prefer to enter code by clicking the pointer at any point on the line, rather than by man-
ually entering characters or spaces to advance to that point. Clear to restrict the places on the line where you can posi-
tion the pointer, to only the characters entered to date on that line.
Keep trailing spaces: Select to preserve any trailing spaces that occur at the end of a line.
Persistent blocks: Select to have any text you enter immediately after selecting a block of code appended to that
block of code as part of the selection. When you select this option, you can also use the arrow keys to move within the
code without affecting the selected code. You must select the Enable selection option to use the Persistent blocks
option.
Overwrite blocks: Select to have any text you enter immediately after selecting a block of code replace that block of
code. You must clear Persistent blocks and select Enable selection for this option to have an effect.
