Xtender: Define the User Settings

Summary

This tip is for anyone using the web version of Xtender.

The User Settings button allows you to control the way documents are retrieved, displayed, exported, and printed in Xtender. There are a bunch of settings you could adjust - this article highlights the key ones to change.

Feel free to adjust other settings as well. (Keep track - so you can change them back if you don't like the way they work!) The changes you make to your settings will not affect other users.
