• Columns and Rows (cf. Note 1): Select the desired format of the matrix by sliding the horizontal pointer which determines the number of columns (ranging from 1 to 4) and the vertical pointer which determines the number of rows (ranging from 2 to 6, for a text with distractors).
  
  
• Alignment: The aligments of textual segments within each box of the matrix is Left by default. To modify segment alignment, use the roll-down menu.
  
  
• Show Tabs: Check this box to see the vertical guide showing the space available to the left (visible in horizontal view only).
  
  
• Margins: Use the roll-down menu to determine the distance of the vertical tabs (visible in horizontal view only).

  Note 1. There are certain restrictions dictating the choice of the number of columns and rows in step 2 (but not at step 1). Thus, at step 2, the number of columns can only be reduced (and not increased). It is possible to reduce the number of rows, but the cost is that extra distractors will be automatically deleted.
  

  Note 2. This option allows you, among other things, to save a text under another name (File > Save As …) to be able to generate a second version without distractors.
