    The Edit Item Properties dialog box appears.

    Note:

    Name and library file are mandatory information.

    To add optional information, click More.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Depending on your settings, do one of the following:
    1. If you have not selected the Confirm selection in Word option, highlight the calculations that you want to save for the current item.
    2. If you have selected Confirm selection in Word option, Library Access System allows you to select the calculations while modifying the item.
