Using the Options dialog box
To open the Options dialog box:
1. In the Document Layout palette, do one of the following:
Double-click a page, master page, or layer to open an Options dialog box.
Select the item and choose Options in the palette’s menu.
2. In the Options dialog box, select from the following options and click OK to apply the
settings. Some options, as noted, are not available for all items or document types.
Options dialog box
Name In the text box, type a name for the item. By default, Canvas names
pages and layers based on their order in the list.
Locked Select the Locked option to prevent changes to a page’s layers, to
individual layers, or to individual objects.
A locked page can be changed in some ways. If a master page is
visible, changes to the master page will appear on the locked
page. Also, a locked page does not prevent a document from
being deleted. If a locked page is copied, the copy is also locked.
Password You can select the Password option when Locked is selected. When the
Password option is used, the assigned password must be entered to
unlock or change the page. To assign a password, select the Password
option and type at least three characters in the text box. After you click
OK, enter the password in the confirmation dialog box that appears and
click OK.
Visible The Visible option can be changed only in the Document Layout palette
list. In Options dialog boxes, the Visible option is not available because a
current item can’t be hidden.
Grayed Select Grayed to make solid color inks of objects on the layer appear to
be grayed (desaturated).
Color Override Select Color Override to apply a color to a layer. Select White Fill to apply
a white fill ink to vector objects and text objects on a layer that has a
color override.
