When this option is on, every time you launch Atlantis it automatically creates a new document of the default document format. Note that a new document does not get created when there are open documents in Atlantis at startup. For example, Atlantis does not create a new document at startup if it has reloaded documents from the previous session or opened a document file specified in its command-line.
When this option is on, Atlantis asks which document template to use every time you create a new document by pressing CtrlN, or clicking the New document toolbar button, or choosing the File | New | Document menu
The main menu or simply menu is a horizontal bar with clickable commands anchored to the top of the main window of Atlantis:

When this option is off, Atlantis always creates new documents using the document template associated with the default format for new documents. By default, that template is "Normal.rtf".
Atlantis uses continuous numeration for newly created documents within its session: "Doc01", "Doc02", "Doc03", and so on. When you restart Atlantis (i.e. create a new Atlantis session), and the "Continuous numeration for new documents after restart" option is on, Atlantis continues document numeration from the previous Atlantis session. For example, if the last created document in the previous session was "Doc27", the first created document in this session will be "Doc28".
When this option is off, the first newly created document in every session of Atlantis is always "Doc01".
Click this button to specify the default templates for the document formats supported by Atlantis, or to change the default format for new documents.
Use this set of options to view or change the font format, paragraph format, or page settings used by Atlantis for newly created formatted documents, or for newly created or existing plain text documents. When you change the defaults, they get saved to the corresponding document template. Note that you can also change these defaults by opening your default templates through the File | Document Templates... menu

Choose the preferable measurement unit - inches, centimeters, picas, points, or millimeters - to be used by Atlantis in the rulers, status bar, and within various dialogs.
1 inch = 2.54 cm = 6 picas = 72 points = 25.4 mm
Some of the Atlantis message dialogs include a Do not ask again check box:
If you always click the same button (Yes, No, Ignore, etc) in such a dialog, you might want Atlantis not to display that dialog again and always assume that you clicked a specific button. For example, when a document has been modified and Atlantis pops up the above dialog, you might want the changes to be always saved without confirmation and accordingly not to be shown this type of message again. By checking the Do not ask again box and pressing the Yes button, you will disable the display of such messages and make saving documents without confirmation the default behavior of Atlantis.
You can also disable or re-enable such message dialogs from a specific dialog by clicking the Optional Messages... button. In that dialog, you can check or uncheck boxes depending on whether you want to enable or disable the corresponding message dialog, and use the bottom left drop-down list to record your default answer to the highlighted message.
