  <title>Change default settings</title>

  <p>When a document is opened for the first time, default settings, such as
  zoom and page view preferences, are applied. Any changes you make to these
  settings are saved for the document.</p>
  <p>You can save the settings which you are currently using as default
  for all new documents by selecting <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Save Current Settings as Default</gui></guiseq>
  or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.</p>

  <note style="important">
    <p>The new default settings do not override settings of previously opened
    documents, they are applied only to documents opened for the first time.</p>
  </note>
