Hello Ted, Starting from Oxygen 11 if an edited document matches a certain document type the initial page for it can be imposed from that document type's preferences. You can go to the Oxygen Preferences -> Document Type Association page, edit the "DITA" document type and at the bottom of the panel you have an initial page checkbox and combo. You can uncheck the checkbox and the document type will no longer impose the initial page for a newly opened editor.

Under Preferences > Author > Editor > Pages, I have set the initial page to Text, then saved and restarted Eclipse. I expected that this would have the effect of making new files open in Text view. However, new files still open in Author view. Why is that, and what can I do to make my files open in Text view? Thanks Ted Kuster help.collab.net

P.S. Sorry, meant to add that this is Oxygen 11 running on Ubuntu 9.10. _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
