6. Please open Content Management section. It allows you to set configuration for WYSIWYG editor. We recommend you to set it Disabled by Default of Disable it completely. Most WYSIWYG editors improperly interpret html code and add their own code. It is essential to use the default code without any additional tags in order to get the proper layout of custom modules. That is why it is highly recommended to edit custom modules without WYSIWYG editors.

7. Please go to Catalog->Inventory section. There you can set Stock and Product Stock Options. When you select Yes option for Display Out of Stock Products out of stock products will appear in Magento catalog, however they will not be available for purchase. In Product Stock options you can set various options for shopping cart and quantity of orders.

In this tutorial we have found out where to set common configuration settings of Magento store.
