The configuration parameters enable you to change the properties of the Office Suite to comply with your needs. The list of the configuration parameters can be accessed with the menu System > Office Suite > Configuration.

The Installation Guide on the Installation CD contains information about the parameters which need to be set for the installation of Office Suite.
