Note   Application-specific options do not appear in the Options dialog box. You can set application-specific options in the Settings dialog box after you load the application. Common options are available all of the time.

CAUTION   Clicking Cancel cancels all of the changes made in the dialog box. If you made changes to more than one category, none of the changes will be saved.
