This text box controls how many words or phrases are contained in a bundle. The larger the bundle the more scrolling you will have to do and the more computer memory used. Smaller bundles may not fill up the window and Adapt It will change bundles more often than with a larger bundle. You may have more trouble keeping track of your work. The default number of words and phrases is 300. With newer and faster computers, you can increase the bundle size without slowing down the process. You may find that your work is a little easier with a larger bundle size. Many computers can accommodate sizes up to 1000 words and phrases.

This option maintains the minimum number of words preceding the Phrase box shown in the Main window. The default value is 50.

This item controls the white space between the strips in the Main window. The default value is 32 pixels. The larger the number the more vertical white space that is shown.

This item controls the size of the Phrase box and how much white space is available to enter more text into the Phrase box. The default value is 8.

This checkbox acts in the same way as the Toggle number of source lines icon 
in the Tool bar. If the box is selected only one line of source text appears in each strip of the Main window. If there is no check mark, both lines appear.
This checkbox acts in the same way as the Toggle number of target lines icon 
in the Tool bar. If the box is selected only one line of target text appears in each strip of the Main window. If there is no check mark, both lines appear.
This item controls whether or not the Adapt It Welcome window appears when you start Adapt It. This item works with the Do not show this window in future checkbox in the Welcome window. If the checkbox is selected, the window appears when you start Adapt It. If the checkbox is not selected, Adapt It goes directly to the Project dialog.
This item controls whether or not the translations automatically inserted by Adapt It appear in a background color other than the default white. When selected, your automatically inserted translations have a light purple background. This colored background helps you to know which words were inserted since the last stationary position of the Phrase box.
This command button works with the previous checkbox to determine the color of the highlighting of inserted translations. It opens the Color dialog box. You can modify the color of inserted translations only at this point. See Managing font color for more information about the Color dialog box.
NoteThe settings for this dialog are saved in the general configuration file, except for Font size for dialogs which is saved in the project configuration file. This means that your settings are used every time you launch Adapt It, until you change the settings again using this dialog.
