TransMagic has the ability to modify various appearance, application option and translation settings.  One of the most important areas in the File->Settings dialog are the translation settings.  Each format in TransMagic has various settings that can be set to change the results of what is read in to or written out of TransMagic.  Each format's default settings represent the vast majority of files in that particular format; however, you don't always know what you're going to get and in many cases you may need to review the Translation Log and then play with that format's File->Settings to successfully translate the file.

It's a good general practice though once you're done importing a problem file to go back and reset the File->Settings to their default settings as you'll have the greatest general success with the default settings. 

Each setting in the File->Settings tab are generally self-explanatory and if the Translation Log is enabled, which options to set are also fairly self-explanatory. 

User's are strongly encouraged to "play" with the settings in the File->Settings dialog box to get familiar with their functions. Using this method will generally provide a stronger understanding of the options functions.
