## 4.9 The Document Attributes

The Document Attributes dialog is used to get a quick overview of the settings and attributes of the active document.

Most properties can be edited by double-clicking or by clicking the Edit-button and can be deleted by clicking the paper basket. But not all are editable or deletable. Some can only be edited and so can only be deleted.

The document tab shows always the following properties:

- the size
- the working mode (see chapter 2.10)
The Attributes Dialog is the only way to switch from the picture mode to the document mode explicitly. The other way round from the document mode to the picture mode is only possible, if the first layer in the document is an image having the same size as the document.
- the ICC profile
The ICC color profile is used to define the color space of the document (see chapter 7.6.12).
- position and size of the lasso
If there is a lasso, its size and position are shown. Double-clicking this entry allows to change the lasso size numerically.
- text register
Text register allows to overlay the pages of the document with a line raster. A paragraph can be aligned to this raster by using "Text in Register" (see chapter 6.2.9, "The Tool Settings Of The Text Tool", subpoint "Paragraph Settings"). This results in a better looking text, if there is multiple columns or both sides of a sheet of paper are used for printing.

Beside that a document often contains print options (see chapter 5.8).
