4. Set the behavior of the Messages area when a new message arrives.
Show Messages area on new message: Select to have PlanetPress Design make the Messages area, if it is cur-
rently hidden, visible when a new message arrives. Note that if you select this option, and the undocked Messages area
appears over the page in the Page area, you cannot close the Messages area if any of the objects or groups on the page
issues a converter message when it executes. Each time you attempt to close it, PlanetPress Design redraws the page,
executing each of the objects or groups on the page; the compiler messages that result from the execution cause the
Messages area to become visible again. In this case you must move the Messages area outside the page to close it.
