Table Options
Many of the Table Options can also be set in Project Options. Settings in Table Options apply to the selected tables and any copies thereof. Settings in Project Options apply to the entire project. Where there is a conflict, Table Options take precedence. Thus, when you wish to make a change to your defaults for a project you do it in Project Options, whereas if just wanting to change the selected tables you do this in Table Options (and, if wanting to make changes in all future projects, this is done via Project Templates).
Name The title shown in any exports. By default this is created from the contents of the blue and brown drop-downs (and, it is reset whenever the blue and brown drop-downs are modified).
Restore Click this button to restore all of the fields to their default values. Anything you have input will be cleared.
