Setting preferences

Manage your account by clicking the Buzzword menu in the upper-left corner of the application and selecting Settings And Preferences. You can change the way your name appears, your e-mail address, or your password. You can add an image to accompany your name on the Collaborator bar at the bottom of the screen. (When you sort files by author in the Organizer, this image also appears next to your name as a group heading.) You can also choose which unit of measurement to use and whether to flag misspelled words as you type.

• Your name: Enter the name that you want to appear to others when you share documents with them, and when you add comments to a document.

• Your e-mail: Enter the address that you use (with your password) to sign in to Buzzword, and that others use when inviting you to share. When you change your e-mail or password in Buzzword, you are changing your Adobe ID. (The change applies to your entire Acrobat.com account.)

• Password: Enter at least six characters that include at least one number and at least one letter.

• Language: Use the menu to select a language (US English, UK English, French, or German) for the user interface. (This option is different than the spell check language setting. For more information, see Check spelling.)

• Your image: You can upload any JPEG, GIF, or PNG image, with a maximum file size of 4 MB and maximum dimensions of 2880 x 2880. Click Change to upload the image from your computer; click Clear to have the default Buzzword image appear.

• Units of measurement: Specify inches, centimeters, or points as the measurement to use in all Buzzword documents you create. The units you choose appear on the ruler and in image dimensions. The units also appear in the page margins you specify in the Page Setup dialog box (Document > Page Setup).

• Spelling: Decide if you want misspelled words underscored in red as you type. Click Edit Word List to change your custom word list. Your custom word list contains words, such as technical terms or proper names, that the spelling checker would flag even though they are spelled correctly. Type a word in the box and click OK to add it. Buzzword automatically alphabetizes the list.

• Automatic sharing with unknown users: Unknown users are Buzzword users with whom you are not currently sharing documents. If you disable this option, documents being shared by unknown users do not automatically appear in your Document Organizer. To accept them, click the e-mailed link.
