- Show rulers
This is checked by default and both a vertical and horizontal ruler are shown on KPresenter slides. When unchecked, the rulers are not shown anymore on any slide.
- Show status bar
Toggle the status bar which is shown by default.
- Number of recent files:
Set the number of recent files which will be opened using the → menu. Default is to remember 10 filenames. The maximum you can set is 20 and the minimum is 1.
- Text indentation depth:
This setting is used in the menu by and menu items to change the indentation depth. Default is 1 centimeter.

- Background object color:
It changes the background col or of the text box. The Text boxes background is white by default. If you had a dark background color and you wanted to put some white text over it, you could color the text box so that you could see what you were typing. When you have finished, the area around the text would revert to whatever the background color was. The button restores the original settings.
- Grid color:
You can change here the grid color which is black as default.
This tab defines the spellchecker behavior.

- Default language:
You can choose here the language for the spellchecker. The languages listed come from aspell so if you want more spelling support languages, you should install the corresponding aspell-ISO packages.
- Enable background spellchecking
If it is checked, it will highlight in red mispelled words according to the dictionary selected above and it will spellcheck words as you type them. This is enabled by default. This option has the same effect as → → and both are checked/unchecked at the same time.
- Skip all uppercase words
If this option is checked, the all uppercase words will not be checked for spelling. This option is also used when you choose the → → menu option.
Tip
This is useful if the document you are working on uses a large number of acronyms. If this box is left unchecked, most of those acronyms will be incorrectly marked. By placing a mark in this checkbox, KPresenter will not mark the acronyms as misspelled.
- Skip run-together words
If checked, then concatenated words made of existing words are not spellchecked. This is useful in some languages. This option is also used when you choose the → → menu option.
Examples of such words are shutout, cannot and blackout.
Tip
Checking this box will help prevent KPresenter from flagging website and email addresses for spelling errors. These addresses often contain words run together.
- Ignore These Words
You can have here a list of words you want to ignore in all spellchecking.
- Add
Write a word in the field then click on the Add button to add it in the list. Once the word is added in the list, even if you click the button of the configuration dialog, it will stay in the list.
- Remove
Highlight a word in the list then click on this button to remove it.

Misc
- Undo/Redo limit:
Set the number of actions you can undo and redo (how many actions KPresenter keeps in its Undo buffer). Default is 30. Maximum is 60 and minimum is 10. Any action that exceeds the number set will be forgotten.
- Display links
When you want to include a link in your slide, you will use the → menu which allows you to insert URL, mail or file links. If the option Display links is checked, all links will be displayed in a different color. This makes document links visible. This is the default behavior. If the option is unchecked, the link will be the same color as the text color. The links are visible (or not) both in the edited slides and in the slide show. A displayed link:
A non displayed link:
- Underline all links
If this is checked, all links will be underlined. The option is checked per default. If it is not checked, the link will not be underlined. A displayed and underlined link:

Comments are inserted in the text at the cursor using the → menu. Comments can only be viewed in editing mode and not in the slide show. If this option is checked (default) then each comment will be shown as a small yellow rectangle. You can then right click on it to edit it, remove it or copy its text. A displayed comment:
- Display field code
In editor mode (not in slide show) this option will display all the variable codes. This is very useful to see what variable is displayed. Variables are inserted using the → menu.
