Option	Description
Date / Time Format	The fields in this section determine how dates and times appear in the News window, when those columns are selected for viewing. Use the drop-down lists to select from multiple formats for the date and time. Also choose between Local Time or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
News Headlines	The fields in this section determine how the headlines appear in the News window. Use the drop-down list to select from fonts available on your PC. Also choose the font size and bold and italics options. Use the color menus to select the foreground (font color) and background for news headlines. When the Highlight Flash News field is checked, Flash News can be easily identified by using a different foreground and background color from other headlines. News headlines that contain an asterisk (*) are called "Flash News" headlines. Flash News headlines are used to show breaking news. They do not contain story-level detail.
News Story Window	The fields in this section determine how stories appear in the Story window. Note: You may also change the properties of the Story window by using the story context menu. Use the drop-down list to select from fonts available on your PC. Also choose the font size and bold and italics options. The Headline Font applies to the story title that will appear at the top of the story page, and the Story Font applies to the story itself. Check the Reuse Story Window field to use only one window for viewing stories. Use the color menus to select the foreground (font color) and background for the story title (Headline) and news story.
News List Columns	The fields in this section determine which columns display in the News window. A checkmark next to the column indicates it will be displayed.
