You're too modest :-} I'll bet you already know:
- File papers relative to the doc
- File papers automatically
- warn before moving
- preset format: custom
- format string: %l%n0%e
- preview: ~/Local File Name.
I don't recall changing anything here except the "File Papers" choice
(from fixed to relative). I'm guessing it's something in the above
settings. I assumed (without thought or reason) that the defaults
would be "harmless".
