The General page is initially displayed when you open Preferences. Most General preferences customize your JMP session at start-up. Others set preferences for file-handling and the general appearance of the JMP workspace.

On Windows, you can also select File > Open, select the workbook, click the Open button arrow, and select Open Selected Worksheets or Use Excel Wizard.
Note that when you open an Excel (.xls) file on Macintosh, an option to select worksheets is always available.
Non-English versions of JMP can save scripts in either English or your local language. User-specified values (such as column names and text strings) in these scripts appear as they do in the data table. However, command words (such as Distribution and Set Value) appear in English rather than the local language in order for the script to run on JMP in English. JMP properly displays non-Roman characters (such as Japanese variable names) in JMP in English when the fonts support the necessary characters.
Clear this option to save scripts in your local language. Note that these scripts run correctly only if JMP is running in the same language. This option is selected by default.
(Windows only) Select this option to include files opened by the JSL Open() command in the Home Window Recent Files pane and the File > Recent Files list.
