The settings for each mode are displayed on the left panel of the
Assistant when you make a mode selection. The values are stored
separately for each mode - this includes the image-only processing and
graphic handling options that are common to all modes.
The output settings are displayed in the left panel when you make an
output selection. The settings are the same for all targets and only one
set of values is stored for use with all saving.
Create Word or Excel 2007 output files by selecting the checkbox
'Generate Office 2007 output' in the appropriate output panel.
PowerPoint output is always for Office 2007; a downloadable plug-in
from Microsoft extends this to Office 2003. See Help.
Next we summarize the choices unique to each mode.
