The Colored Strips

The strips with colors under each setting indicate to which editions each setting applies. The Color Key at the bottom of the screen shows which editions are represented by the colors.

The Settings Bar

Settings has its own bottom bar. Note the following options on the bar.

  • Information: Displays relevant information under each setting. (Not available in this Help section.)
  • Current: When accessing Settings from one of the editions, this hides settings that are not applicable to that edition – i.e. only settings applicable to the current edition are displayed. This also hides the colored strips. (Not available in this Help section.)
  • Apply: Returns to the page from which Settings was accessed, and applies the relevant settings.

Reverting to Default Settings

To reset settings to their default status, tap:

Options are 'grayed out' if:
