      <p class="para_topic">The customized operation parameters dialog generally becomes longer as you move items from the Available Items list into the Items Used list. To avoid customizing the dialog beyond the size of the viewing screen Property Pages allows you to create multiple pages or tabs within the dialog. It is possible to place all customizable items on an individual page. This includes scrolled areas, groups, labels and separators. The only exception is the property page item itself. You cannot place a property page inside a property page as further described below. To use the Property Pages option click on the Property Pages icon.  <img align="bottom" src="graphics/cust_prop_pag.gif" border="0"></p>

            <p class="para_item">Nested pages are not allowed</p>
            <p class="para_item">It is not possible to have property pages inside a single page. The system will check to see if you have customized a dialog so that it would contain nested pages. If it does contain nested pages a warning message will be displayed.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Items outside a property page</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_topic">The system displays the items above the first property page in the list, at the top of the dialog, above the tabs. These items remain visible regardless of the property page you are viewing. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">The system displays the items below the last property page in the list, at the bottom of the dialog, just above the action buttons OK, Apply, and Cancel. These items are visible regardless of the property page you are viewing. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">You cannot place items between property pages. When you place items between property pages, the system displays a warning. Click the OK and the system returns you to the customization dialog where you can correct the item placement by moving the items either onto a page, or to the beginning or end of the list. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">When moving items from one list to another, you may add the items to the top of the list or you may insert the items into a specified position. Selecting an item in the Available Items list and then clicking the Add button, for example, will cause that item to be added to the top of the Items Used list. Selecting an item in both the Items Used list and the Available Items list and then clicking the Add button will cause the item from the Available Items list to be inserted into the Items Used list just below the selected item.</p>

      <p class="para_topic">You can change the listing order in the Items Used list by selecting an item or items and clicking the Remove button. This places the selected item in the Available Items list while keeping it selected. You can then add it back to a new position in the Items Used list by selecting an item in Items Used list and clicking the Add button. This will place the item in the Items Used list, just below the item you selected in the Items Used list.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">As you add, subtract, and rearrange items in the Items Used list, you should select Preview to check the progress of the customized dialog.</p>
