How does ProDoc Prioritize Formatting?
Global, Volume and Specific Document formatting values can all apply to a particular document. Here's
how ProDoc determines which to use:
1. If there is a Specific Document value for the particular setting, ProDoc uses it.
2. Otherwise, if there's a Volume value for the setting and "Ignore global and volume formatting
settings" was not checked in the Specific Document Formatting Options window for the document,
ProDoc uses the Volume value.
3. Otherwise, if there is a Global value for the item and "Ignore global and volume formatting
settings" was not checked in the Specific Document window for the document, and "Ignore global
settings" was not checked in the Volume Formatting Options window for the volume containing
the document, ProDoc uses the Global value.
4. Otherwise, ProDoc uses the value in the ProDoc form.
NOTE:
The sources for formatting item values are determined item by item. A document
might be assembled using a Specific Document line spacing value, a Volume left
margin value, a Global justification value and the font in the ProDoc form.
Formatting option settings apply only to the user who created them. To
make the formatting option settings of one user available to another user, you
must copy the files that contain the settings. Global formatting option values are
stored in a file called XXXGCFG.INI in the ProDoc home directory where "XXX" is
the initials of the user who created the settings. The volume and specific document
settings are stored in files called XXXCFG.INI in the volume subdirectories. To
make the settings available to user YYY, copy XXXGCFG.INI to YYYGCFG.INI
and each of the XXXCFG.INI files to YYYCFG.INI. This will overwrite any
formatting option settings that user YYY might have had.
Click the Advanced tab to create a configuration file for such things as headers and footers, page
numbers, fonts, and the like.

You can click Create to open your word processing program and create an advanced configuration file. If
you've already created an advanced configuration file, Edit enables you to open your word processor and
make changes to it. Delete lets you delete it.
You can refer to your particular word processor's documentation to determine how to create a file
containing headers, footers, etc. When a document is assembled, ProDoc checks for the presence or
absence of configuration files, and if one or more configuration files that apply to the document exist,
