General tab of the Options dialog box

Recently Used File List Entries

Lets you specify the number of recently used files that Designer displays in the Files menu.

Undo Event Limit

By default, the Undo and Redo commands in the Edit menu reverse (Undo) or repeat (Redo) the most recent five actions. However, Designer can remember from 0 to 100 undo and redo steps since the last save. Setting a higher number of steps gives you the freedom to try multiple changes and the capability to undo those changes if desired, but takes up memory.

Auto Save Time Period

Sets the length of time between automatic saves.

Offset for Duplicate

Enter the vertical and horizontal distance to offset duplicates.

Make Backups on Save

Retains a copy of the previous version of all document files. Designer appends the extension BAK to the filename and saves the backup in the same folder as the original file. When the Make Backups option is selected, you have two copies of the document on disk--the current version and the previously saved version. The backup version is overwritten each time you save the document.

Output Only One Page to QSF

Output only page one when using QSF format.
