Much better, let us ban the use of the word Preferences alltogether,
Preferences are evil:-) They make the novice user think that it is "safe"
to change all preferences and anyway Preferences doesn't translate to well
into other languages. However I do belive that properties is a "good" word
to use about document settings. Well atleast in Swedish it is.
That is I am for:
File|Options - Program stuff
File|Properties - The current document properties.
