Setting options globally (2007)

[LurfysMa]

I am having trouble getting settings to apply to *ALL* documents.
Perhaps I need a tutorial on global vs local settings.

If I change some setting, how do I know whether it applies to thay
document, to all documents based on that template, or all documents
period?

The settings I just struggled with are (a) display hidden text and (b)
a printer option to display all colors as black. In both cases, I
changed the settings in one document, but would like them to apply to
all documents. I have thousands of documents and dozens of templates.
I really don't want to change them all manually.

Display of hidden text is an environment setting; there's no way you can
link it to a specific template or the documents based on it (short of an
AutoOpen/AutoNew macro). If hidden text is displayed in the window from
which you open the document, it will be open in the document you open, and
vice versa.
