Setting Preferences: An Example
Suppose you want to draw a frame around a cell. The preference that controls this property of a cell is called CellFrame.
To draw a frame around a cell:
1. Select the cell by clicking on it.
2. Click Edit
Preferences... to open the Option Inspector window.
3. Click Selection from the left-hand pop-up menu.
4. Click Cell Options
Display Options. This gives a list of all options that control how a cell is displayed in the document.
5. Click the box next to the option CellFrame and use the pop-up menu to change the setting to "True." A bullet appears next to CellFrame , indicating that its value has been changed. The cell that you selected now has a frame drawn around it.
Alternatively, you can type "cell frame " in the textbox and click Lookup. This leads you directly to the CellFrame preference without having to search by category. The Lookup feature provides a useful way to locate a preference if you are unsure of its category.
