Customizing Document Manager columns

The Document Manager presents information on the current document in table form. Each row represents one page. The Customize Columns dialog box (available in the View menu under Customize Columns…) allows you to select which columns of information you want to see and in which order. Select the checkmarks of items you want to see. Highlight an item and use the Move buttons to fix the order of the columns. Highlight an item and use the edit box to define a width for the column (you can also change column widths easily in the Document Manager by dragging the column separator).

The information columns available are:
