Re: [oXygen-user] Wondering why oXygen XML Editor 11 defaults to Author mode
I recently spent considerable time trying to figure out how to globally change the default view mode from Author to Editor in v.11.1, and was unsuccessful. Memory tells me that this change was possible in previous versions. Such as setting would eliminate hundreds of clicks to manually switch the mode. Thank you.

Hi Gabrielle, Just go to the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Pages" preferences page and uncheck the "Allow document type specific page...." checkbox.
