DEFAULT

If the Default button is selected, the text in the summary fields is saved with the

default fields that are automatically filled when creating a new WAV file. The

Creation date field (ICRD) is always filled with the current date for new files.

Saving a custom default setup is handy for saving copyright and engineer

information for new files created at your site.

To view extended summary information:

1. Open the TUTOR1.WAV file.

2. Select the Summary page from Properties in the File menu.This will show you

the Summary dialog.

3. Press the Extended button. Notice that the default for saving summary

information is to have all fields enabled. The fields that have already been

filled in for TUTOR1.WAV are Comments, Copyright, Creation Date, Engineer,

Name/Title, and Software.

4. Scroll to and select each field. You will see the embedded text for each of

these fields.

ADDITIONAL EMBEDDED INFORMATION

You can also embed non-text data in a WAV, AVI, ASF, or RM file. If you open

and edit a file which has additional information created by other software,

Sound Forge XP will keep track of this data and place it back in the file when

you save to the original format.

If you wish to add or remove additional data (such as embedded bitmaps,

metafiles, etc.), you can use the Save As command from the File menu. When

you save data using the Save As option, Sound Forge XP will ask you if you wish

to copy the additional non-audio information to the new file. At this point

you can answer either Yes to place the additional information in the new file

or No to save only audio data and any additional data types you have selected.

Sound Forge XP will only prompt you to save if such data exists.
