<p><b>Spreadsheet Editor</b> lets you change its general advanced settings. To access them, open the <b>File</b> tab at the top toolbar and select the <b>Advanced Settings...</b> option. You can also click the <b>View settings</b><imgalt="View settings icon"src="../images/viewsettingsicon.png"/> icon on the right side of the editor header and select the <b>Advanced settings</b> option.</p>
<b>Commenting Display</b> is used to turn on/off the live commenting option:
<ul>
<li><b>Turn on display of the comments</b> - if you disable this feature, the commented cells will be marked on the sheet only if you click the <b>Comments</b><imgalt="Comments icon"src="../images/commentsicon.png"/> icon at the left sidebar.</li>
<li><b>Turn on display of the resolved comments</b> - this feature is disabled by default so that the resolved comments were hidden on the sheet. You can view such comments only if you click the <b>Comments</b><imgalt="Comments icon"src="../images/commentsicon.png"/> icon at the left sidebar. Enable this option if you want to display resolved comments on the sheet.</li>
<li><b>Reference Style</b> is used to turn on/off the <b>R1C1 reference style</b>. By default, this option is disabled and the <b>A1 reference style</b> is used.
<p>When the <b>A1 reference style</b> is used, columns are designated by letters, and rows are designated by numbers. If you select the cell located in row 3 and column 2, its address displayed in the box to the left of the the formula bar looks like this: <b>B3</b>. If the <b>R1C1 reference style</b> is enabled, both rows and columns are designated by numbers. If you select the cell at the intersection of row 3 and column 2, its address will look like this: <b>R3C2</b>. Letter R indicates the row number and letter C indicates the column number.</p>
<p>In case you refer to other cells using the <b>R1C1 reference style</b>, the reference to a target cell is formed based on the distance from an active cell. For example, when you select the cell in row 5 and column 1 and refer to the cell in row 3 and column 2, the reference is <b>R[-2]C[1]</b>. Numbers in square brackets designate the position of the cell you refer to relative to the current cell position, i.e. the target cell is 2 rows up and 1 column to the right of the active cell. If you select the cell in row 1 and column 2 and refer to the same cell in row 3 and column 2, the reference is <b>R[2]C</b>, i.e. the target cell is 2 rows down from the active cell and in the same column.</p>
<li>By default the <b>Fast</b> mode is selected, the users who take part in the document co-editing will see the changes in real time once they are made by other users.</li>
<li>If you prefer not to see other user changes (so that they do not disturb you, or for some other reason), select the <b>Strict</b> mode and all the changes will be shown only after you click the <b>Save</b><imgalt="Save icon"src="../images/saveupdate.png"/> icon notifying you that there are changes from other users.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Default Zoom Value</b> is used to set the default zoom value selecting it in the list of available options from 50% to 200%.</li>
<li><b>Font Hinting</b> is used to select the type a font is displayed in Spreadsheet Editor:
<ul>
<li>Choose <b>As Windows</b> if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on Windows, i.e. using Windows font hinting.</li>
<li>Choose <b>As OS X</b> if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on a Mac, i.e. without any font hinting at all.</li>
<li>Choose <b>Native</b> if you want your text to be displayed with the hinting embedded into font files.</li>
<li><b>Unit of Measurement</b> is used to specify what units are used for measuring elements parameters such as width, height, spacing, margins etc. You can select the <b>Centimeter</b>, <b>Point</b>, or <b>Inch</b> option.</li>
