Choose the character set from the ''CharSet'' pop-up menu to be used for conversion from system character set to PageStream's Unicode character set. This translation table is used when typing and displaying text, batch adding and exporting words from the spelling and hyphenation dictionaries, is the default when import/exporting ASCII text and more. For more details on character sets see the Character Sets appendix.

Click the ''Edit'' button in the ''Attributes'' group to set the default text attributes used when initially creating a text frame, frameless text object or table cell. The most important attributes most commonly set are the default Language (used for spell checking, smart typographic quotation marks, hyphenation, and page, date and time variables), Font and Size; but all default text attributes can be modified.
