#### 3.2.9 Selecting a configuration setting

At the top of the Configuration Manager Setting page you see the full path to the starting configuration file for the current session, and also the edit action you selected on the Action page; see §3.2.7 Choosing the kind of change to make. Next you see the name of the section you selected, and a note of its purpose.

Under Select setting for action you see listed all the settings (if any) that meet the criteria you established on the Category page and that are valid (or already exist) in the section you selected. For example, if you had selected Bulleted2 from the list on the Section page, you would see a list of settings that are valid in this paragraph-format-definition section.

If you chose to add a fixed-key setting, those listed in black are already in use in at least one configuration file for the current session, while those listed in an alternate color (see §3.2.3 Setting Configuration Manager preferences) are available for use.

If you chose to add a variable-key setting, you can specify Name for new setting.

If you chose to edit a setting, only those currently in use are listed.

If you chose to rename a variable-key setting, you can Rename setting.

Once you have selected a setting or entered a new setting name, click Apply setting; the Configuration manager switches to the .ini File page, where you choose the file in which you want to make the change; see §3.2.10 Selecting a configuration file.
