It is recommended, on the first access to the Articles main tab, to configure the greeking of text.

When display capabilities are not sufficient to show text at a small size, GN4 displays the text as a dimmed bar. This is called greeking type. Any type at or below the specified type size is replaced on-screen with non-letterforms that act as placeholders in the artwork.

Default: 10pt.

Recommended: 6pt for greeking.

To configure the greeking of text

1.On the Edit menu of the Articles main tab, click Preferences.

2.On the Display tab, in Greek Text Below, type a value in points.

3.Click OK to save the preference.

About saving preferences in database

When you click OK, the preferences are updated in the memory and applied right-on. GN4 will store the preference in the database when you exit application. Anyway, should your GN4 crash or exit in any other abnormal way, the preference will not be stored in database, and you will have to repeat the previously described steps.

This preference is stored in the Editorial_SystemUserConfig for the securityRef corresponding to the user name. To display that configuration, open EdAdmin4, click Client Applications, expand the search pane in the left sidebar, in the Name enter editorial, and in the securityRef select the name of the user. Double-click the Editorial_SystemUserConfig to open the content. Locate the preference by name.
