#### 3.2.8 Selecting a configuration section

At the top of the Configuration Manager Section 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.

Under Select section for action you see listed all the sections (if any) that meet the criteria you established on the Category page.

For example, if you had selected category Para Char Formats and specified Bulleted* for Section matches, you might see this list of sections:

    Bulleted1
    Bulleted1L2
    Bulleted1L3
    Bulleted2
    Bulleted2L3
    BulletedL

Click a section name to select it. Immediately below the selection box you see a statement that characterizes the section. For example, if you had selected Bulleted2 (or any other name) from the section list above, you would see:

Section is in current inis and is variable-name with fixed keys

If you had chosen to add a new variable-name section on the Action page, you could specify its name after Name for new section. Or, if you had chosen to rename a variable-name section on the Action page, you could specify its new name after Rename section.

Once you have selected a section, or possibly named a new section or renamed an existing section, click Apply section; what happens next depends on whether the action you chose pertains to a section or to a setting:

Section | The Configuration Manager switches to the .ini File page; see §3.2.10 Selecting a configuration file
Setting | The Configuration Manager switches to the Setting page; see §3.2.9 Selecting a configuration setting.
