On the System tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Options 
, you can make the following system settings:
Smooth edges of pictures
If this option is enabled, Calculate uses anti-aliasing to smooth edges and lines in pictures. Advantage: The display quality of scaled pictures is improved. Disadvantage: This procedure consumes some CPU time when displaying pictures, of course.
Enable OpenGL AutoShapes
If this option is enabled, Calculate uses the OpenGL graphics engine to display AutoShapes optimally. If you disable this option, 3D effects used for AutoShapes may no longer be displayed correctly. Thus, you should usually leave this option enabled.
Check for updates
Here, you can specify how often you want the software to check whether there are updates for Ashampoo Office. Updates provide bug fixes and feature improvements.
Note: Checking for updates only works if your device can access the Internet.
You can also disable the automatic update check (not recommended) by selecting Never from the dropdown list. Checking for updates can then only be done manually – by clicking on the Check now button.
Associate file types
Windows only: This button opens a dialog box where you can associate certain file types with Calculate. This will make Calculate the default application for the corresponding file types.
If, for example, you link the file type "Microsoft Excel documents" with Calculate , files of this type will always be opened in Calculate when you double-click on such a file in Windows Explorer.
Show a message during program launch when Calculate is not the default program
Windows only: The aforementioned button enables you to set Calculate as the default program for opening certain file types. Over time, another application may assume the role as the default program for opening such file types.
If this option is enabled, a message will then appear the next time you open this file type in Calculate asking whether you want to set Calculate as the default program again. If this option is disabled, the message will no longer be displayed.
