Changing program settings
Program settings affect the overall functioning of Quattro Pro. Changes you make to these settings remain in effect until you change them again, even after you exit and restart Quattro Pro.
You can create or edit notebooks in a format compatible with other programs by changing Quattro Pro compatibility options. Changes can be made to the default file save and file open types, as well as to notebook sizes. These changes become the program’s default settings.
