    and for document type <gui><em>Image</em></gui> is 300 dpi. To change these settings:
    </p>

    <steps>
      <item>
        <p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
        <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Select <gui style="tab">Quality</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Change the <gui>Text Resolution</gui> or <gui>Image Resolution</gui> value.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Close the dialog.</p>
      </item>
