You can choose the font.

% Zoom

If you want the data in the tables to be displayed in a different size, just adjust the Zoom percentage.

• The zoom percentage can also be changed with the zoom tool at the bottom right of the status line.
• The purpose of the zoom is to adapt the table content to the window size.
  For the text size of menus, dialogues and icons, the operating system settings are used, but can also be adapted by the user.

Behavior

Edit table with single click

• If the function is activated, a single click on the selected cell is sufficient to introduce change.
• If the function is activated, a single click on the cell already selected is sufficient to change.

Autocomplete text (Smart fill)

By activating this option, the program automatically selects the first draft text in the drop down list and automatically fills it in the row where you are.

Add up during selection

By activating this option, the program will add up the selected amounts. Deactivate this function if this instantaneous addition slows certain operations down. One can select non-adjacent amounts by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting individual cells with the left mouse button.

On Enter go to the next row

By activating this option, the cursor will place itself on the next row when pressing the Enter key.

 Input

Maximum number of undo operations

Insert the maximum number of undo operations when using the command from the menu Edit → Undo Operation (you undo one operation at a time).

Smart fill rows limit

When inserting data, the program reads the data that has already been entered and tries to suggest how to complete an entry. In cases where there are many rows, this function could slow down the process.
The user can define a limit for the number of rows, above which the smart fill will not be used. If there is no value entered or zero, smart fill will always be used.

The File Management options are activated via Tools → Program Options → File Handling tab.

Saving documents

This section contains the following options for saving documents.

Saving automatically when closing the documents

If this option is enabled, the data will be saved each time the file is closed.

Save autorecover information

The option allows automatic saving of the file with frequency (in minutes) to be indicated. The program saves the data in a document called autobackup + filename. If the program or computer crashes, you can recover the data by opening this file and saving it as from the File menu.

Create backup copy

When saving to disk with the same name, the pre-existing version of the file is renamed with the BAK extension.
Refer to the Save page for further information.

 Files extension

Extension of files considered secure

This option defines the file types (eg: "pfd", "jpg", ...) and the url schemes (eg: "http:", "x-devonthink-item:", ...) that allow to open with a double click in the DocLink column of the Transactions table. Therefore, it prevents you from opening unsafe files or schemes. Extensions must be inserted without the period '.' initial, while the schemes must be inserted with a double dot ':' at the end.

Restore defaults

If certain settings have been changed, program will restore the default settings when clicking on this button.

 

The Advanced options are activated Tools > Program Options > Advanced.

If this option is enabled when printing PDF files, the font selected in the Interface tab is used, otherwise a native font type of PDF files is used (Helvetica or Times New Roman). This option must be disabled if the texts in the generated PDF files are unreadable.
