Working in Developer mode
You can start Quattro Pro to work in Developer mode. Developer mode adds special properties to property menus and lets you use the shortcut key Ctrl + M, which varies in function depending on the current program state. In most instances, Ctrl + M restores the standard Quattro Pro application bar and input line. In Developer mode, you can modify property settings or change the title displayed in the Quattro Pro title bar. Additional properties of drawn objects in a chart or map window let you read or change property settings with macro commands, link commands, and spreadsheet functions (Name property). You do not have to be in Developer mode to change or read these property settings; macro commands can always access them.
You can also control whether users can access object property settings.
