Application Software - Features

  • User Preferences
  • Document Operations
  • Help
Many programs offer ways to customize the interface for a user, and often a way to save these preferences. Some programs only save these preferences for the current run of the program, requiring the user to enter their preferences each time the program is started. Others can save each user's preference, loading the correct customizations based on the user's identity.

Example: In Microsoft Word I can set the default font so everytime I open Word the font and font size I use is the default.
