Automatic Range Management - I give up

I have searched through this NG as well as searched BOL concerning this
process called Automatic Range Management, which is suggested as an easy way
to handle reseeding of the identity values. But I have no idea how to set up
ARM. I looked through the properties of my publications and subscriptions
and couldn't find anything for ARM. Nor do the wizards reveal any setting
for ARM.
So, howya do it?
Roger,
in the publication properties, on the articles tab, click on the elipsis
button which gives access to the article properties. There is a tab for
identities, and a checkbox at the top for automatic range management.
Assuming you haven't yet subscribed, it won't be greyed out and you can then
set the size of the range etc.
