## Document setup

The options in the Document Setup dialog box allow you to control the settings for your current document and the output it generates when you publish the site.

### To display the Document Setup dialog box

- Open the File menu and choose Document Setup....
- Click the appropriate tab to display the corresponding page of settings.

To change the settings for a particular document open the document and choose Document Setup....

To change the default settings that will apply when you create a new document, choose Document Setup... with no document open in Freeway.

### Document

Allows you to define the size of pages and the location of your Freeway document:

Option | Description
Default page size | Specifies the default size of pages in your site. Choose one of the predefined page sizes from the pop-up menu, or choose Custom and specify the size explicitly in the Width and Height fields.
Width, Height | Allow you to specify the page size explicitly.
Site folder | Click the Select... button to specify the location of the Site folder, which will be used to contain the HTML and resource files when the site is published.
Pasteboard width | Specifies how far the pasteboard extends in each direction outside the page area.
Document graphics | Specifies the color depth for graphics saved with your Freeway document for preview: 256 colors will give the smallest Freeway document size. Millions of colors will save the highest possible quality image with your Freeway document, allowing high-quality images to be generated when you publish your site if the original images are not available.

### Output

Provides options affecting the HTML generated and the naming of files created when you publish your site:

Option | Description
Default HTML | Specifies the default standard of HTML generated by Freeway. 3.2 gives greatest compatibility with older Web browsers but does not support CSS. 4.01 is the recommended setting, and provides dynamic HTML and CSS support with all recent browsers. XHTML 1.0 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 Strict generate XHTML-compliant code, for use with applications that require it.
HTML code | Determines the formatting applied to the HTML generated by Freeway. Note that this option has no effect on the appearance of the page in a browser. More Efficient leaves out optional white space to make the files as small as possible. More Readable makes the HTML easier to read by indenting the output.
Line feeds | Macintosh, DOS, and UNIX use different linefeed characters. Selecting DOS or UNIX will allow the HTML text files to be read more easily on DOS/UNIX systems. This doesn’t matter for browsers, but may be important for CGI scripts, etc.
Resources | Specifies where the GIF images and other resource files are stored when the site is published. Common Resource Folder stores all the resources in a single folder. Separate Resource Folders stores the resources for each folder in the site structure in a separate Resources folder at that level. With HTML Files stores the resources loose with the HTML files at each level.
File names | Specifies the conventions used to generate the file names of HTML files and resources when the site is published. Alphanumeric restricts the file names to letters and digits, as required by older servers. DOS restricts the file names to 8.3 format for maximum compatibility with MS-DOS Web servers. UNIX/Windows (recommended) generates file names suitable for UNIX or Windows servers.
Reinforce layout tables | Reinforces tables with invisible GIF images.
External Stylesheets | Stores CSS style sheets in a separate file from the HTML.
Set Browser Margin in HTML 3.2 | Sets a default margin of eight pixels at the top left-hand side of the page, for consistency with older Netscape browsers that ignore the zero margin used by Freeway.
Uppercase tags (not XHTML) | Specifies that the HTML tags should be generated in upper-case rather than the default lower-case. Not applicable to the XHTML output options.
Max. file name length | Specifies the maximum length of automatically generated file names.
Image creator type | Specifies the creator type assigned to exported images. You can choose one of the following options from the pop-up menu: None specifies no creator type. Other allows you to specify the four-letter creator type explicitly. Default Browser sets the image creator type to the default browser selected using the Preview Setup... command on the File menu. Choose Application... allows you to set the creator by selecting an application on your hard disk.

### Upload

Specifies the default upload method and settings used when the document is uploaded to the Web server using the Upload... command on the File menu.

### Text

Specifies the default encoding and language used for HTML generated when the site is published, and the default fonts used to display text in the Freeway document when editing the site:

Option | Description
Default encoding | Choose Automatic to automatically set the encoding based on the text in the site, or select an encoding from the pop-up menu.
Spelling/Hyphenation language | Specifies the language used for spelling and hyphenation.
Default fonts for encoding | Allows you to specify the font and size to use for displaying both standard and fixed width text in your Freeway document for each of the encodings you want to use. Select the encoding from the pop-up menu, then specify the fonts and sizes using the Standard and Fixed-width menus below.

### Graphics

Allows you to specify the default options for exporting GIF, PNG, and JPEG images:

Option | Description
GIF/PNG | Allows you to specify the default color palette, and whether the resulting images will be interlaced.
JPEG | Allows you to specify whether JPEG images are made progressive, and the default compression/quality level.
Apply bilinear scaling to images | Allows you to specify whether images will be scaled using bilinear filtering, which gives smoother results. This may be inappropriate for images containing line art.
Dither images with 256 or fewer colors | Automatically dithers images with fewer than 256 colors to improve their quality.
