   The Visual Specifications dialog box appears.

   
3. Check the Preserve free representations check box.
   Tip:

   To enable the Preserve free representations check box, set the Calculate Specifications drop–down list to one of these options:

   • Representations only automatically when data is edited
   • Representations and Calculated Fields automatically when data is edited

4. Click the OK button.
