Document Properties: Document
The Document properties page allows you to specify
miscellaneous options for the document.
Page Boundaries
Each file comprising the source of the document
ends up as an individual page in the resulting iSilo™
document. The Page Boundaries option determines what
happens when a document is scrolled or paged at a page boundary.
Scrolling refers to using the scroll bars, dragging,
or other software based means to scroll the document content.
Paging refers to the use of hardware page up and page
down keys or buttons to move across pages.
Rigid page boundaries
Neither scrolling nor paging across page boundaries are possible.
Note that following a hyperlink and other methods of jumping across
pages are still possible.
Hard page boundaries
This is the default setting. Scrolling across page boundaries
is not possible, but paging is.
Soft
Both scrolling and paging across page boundaries is possible.
Default Category
A document may have a default category. The following
describes what happens when opening a document
with a default category for the very first time
within iSilo™:
- If the default category exists, the document is placed into
the default category.
- If the default category does not exist, then:
- If there is room for another category, the category
is created and the document is added to it.
- If there is no room for another category, the document
goes to the Unfiled category.
Select No default category to not specify a default category
for the document.
To specify a default category for the document, select
Use category and enter a name in the adjacent combo
box or select a name from the list. To edit the list,
click Edit list.
Read the following sub-sections for important notes on
category support in iSilo™.
Palm OS® basic category support
Basic category support became available as of version
3.05 of "iSilo™ for Palm OS". This support utilized the
built-in Palm OS® category functionality and thus has the
same limitations, listed here:
- Category names have a maximum length limit of 15 characters
- There is no support for hierarchical categories
Auto-categorization in "iSilo™ for Palm® OS"
In "iSilo™ for Palm® OS" version 3.05 and later,
auto-categorization occurs in the background when the user
is in the document list view. iSilo™ goes through
the internal storage memory and the /Palm/Programs/iSilo,
/Palm/Launcher, and /Palm/Programs/MSFiles
folders of mounted memory cards and searches for documents that
have never been opened nor categorized. For each such document,
iSilo™ checks to see whether the document has a
default category, and if so adds the document to the specified
default category, creating the category if necessary first.
Auto-categorization in "iSilo™ for Pocket PC"
and "iSilo™ for Windows Mobile™ Smartphone"
In "iSilo™ for Pocket PC" version 4.05 and later
and in "iSilo™ for Windows Mobile™ Smartphone",
auto-categorization occurs in the background when the user
is in the document list view. iSilo™ goes through
the /My Documents/iSilo folder and searches for documents
that have never been opened nor categorized. For each such document,
iSilo™ checks to see whether the document has a
default category, and if so adds the document to the specified
default category, creating the category if necessary first.
Hierarchical categories
Hierarchical categories and hence category support in general
is available as of version 4.05 of all platform versions
of iSilo™. This capability supports for up to ten
levels of sub-categories, allowing for hierarchical organization
of categories. You can specify a default category using a category
path that specifies the categories at each level that lead to the
final category. Use forward slashes as component separators in the path.
An example hierarchical category path is /Business/Accounting,
where Business is the top-level category and Accounting is a
sub-category of the Business category.
No support in other versions
The default category of a document has no effect in versions
of iSilo™ for which there is no category support.
Home Page
Use the Home page number field to specify a home page for the
document. The first page of the document is page one. Check
Open document on home page if document date changes
to have the document open on the document each time after it is
reconverted. This option requires iSilo™ 3.25 and later.
Text Encoding Options
Click Text Encoding Options to access the Text Encoding
dialog to specify the output and/or input text encodings.
The target system must support the selected output text encoding
in order for text to display correctly.
