Customizing FileMaker Pro 9-9
Select To
Use smart quotes Use curly apostrophes (’) and quotation marks (“ ”). If you
use a font that doesn’t have smart quotes, FileMaker Pro
substitutes plain marks (' "). When you change this option,
FileMaker Pro uses the new setting when you type in the file
(existing marks do not change). If you deselect this option,
FileMaker Pro uses plain marks.
Store compatible graphics Store graphics in a cross-platform format. You can
deselect this option to conserve disk space, but Mac OS
computer users viewing your file only see JPEG, GIF, or
PICT images. Changing this option affects only the
objects you create after the change.
Try default password, and
then type a password
Automatically enter a password when you open the file.
If the password isn’t valid, FileMaker Pro prompts you to
type another password. To temporarily bypass the
default password and enter a different one, press Shift
while opening the file.
Switch to layout, and then
choose a layout from the
drop-down list
Display the specified layout when you open the file. If
you don’t select this option, FileMaker Pro opens the
layout you displayed when you closed the file, or opens
a layout you specify in a startup script. (See the Perform
script option below.)
Perform script, and then
choose a name from the
drop-down list
Perform a startup or close script when you open or close
the file. For example, you can define a startup script to
hide the status area or set the window size. If another
script opens the file, FileMaker Pro doesn’t perform the
startup script.
