when inserting or appending long numbers.
Setting up plug-ins
A plug-in is a file that adds features to FileMaker Pro. In plug-ins
preferences you can set options for these plug-ins. Select the checkbox
next to the plug-in you want to work with, then click Configure. If the
checkbox is already selected, click the plug-in name to highlight it, then
click Configure.
See “Publishing files on the Web” on page 11-1 for more information on
using the FileMaker Pro Web Companion plug-in.
Setting document preferences
Document preferences affect the current database file. You can set
different document preferences for different files.
Note A shared file has the same document preferences for every user.
You can change the document preferences if you have the master
password or if there isn’t password protection in the file. See “Defining
passwords” on page 7-11.
