Delay Time: Set the speed of the animation. The value in milliseconds indicates when each successive page will appear.
Note: This is not the actual frame rate; depending on the amount of data (ink) on the page and the performance of your computer it might take a noticeable amount of time for each page to load if antialiasing is enabled. The time that is required to load the page is added to the delay time specified in this box.
Continuous
play: Set continuous play as the default. Same as the Continuous

Animate ink on each page: Have the pages slowly redrawn. The ink will appear at average handwriting speed, in the same order and direction that it was originally written (see below).
