If this checkbox has a mark, then when you press the PageUp and PageDown buttons
on the keyboard, KWord moves the text cursor (the caret) down one page. If there is no mark in this checkbox
then KWord moves the view, but does not change the position of the text cursor.
- Number of recent files:
This determines the maximum number of files that are listed under
File->Open
Recent command. You can adjust this value
from 1-20.
- Horizontal grid size:
Determines the horizontal size of the grid. When frames and tab stops are placed on the page, they
are placed on a point in the grid. This gives your document a more professional look because elements are effectively
aligned. You can reduce the grid size if you need finer control of your layout.
- Vertical grid size:
Determines the vertical size of the grid. When frames and tab stops are placed on the page, they
are placed on a point in the grid. This gives your document a more professional look because elements are effectively
aligned. You can reduce the grid size if you need finer control of your layout.

- Default font
Click on the Choose button, and a new dialog will appear. Use this dialog to
choose the default font. This setting determines the default font used by KWord until further formatting is done. You can
revert any text to this default by selecting
Format->Default Format from
the menubar.
- Autosave every (min):
You can use this to adjust how often KWord saves a temporary
file. If you set this value to zero, KWord will not autosave. You

Page Numbering.
Подсказка
This is helpful if you have split a single document into multiple files.
- Tab Stop:
Each KWord document has a default set of tab stops. If you add tab stops to your document, the newly added
tab stops override the default tabstops. You can use this text box to define the spacing between default tab stops.
As an example. If you enter 1.5 in this text box, and the unit of measure is in centimeters, then the
first default tab stop will be located 1.5 cm to the right of the left margin of the frame. The second default tab stop will be located at 3 cm from the
left margin, etc....
This section of the dialog box has one checkbox labeled Cursor in protected area.
When there is a mark in this check box, and you click in a protected frame of your document, a cursor appears. When the
mark is removed from this check box, and you click in a protected frame, there is no cursor visible.
