Labor preferences not showing in Dwarf Fortress:?

Question

I have a large abundance of farmers which aren't really needed, so I'd like to switch them to things I'd find more useful. However, I'm not really sure where to do this. Googling the issue told me to select a dwarf and press 'p' for labor settings, but that option is not present. Here's a screen-shot of my dwarf's selection screen: http://i.stack.imgur.com/sqopc.png (sorry for not embedding it, I have to have 10 posts or more)

I'm not really sure what to do at this point, as I've got an enormous amount of food but all of my other endeavors are proceeding very slowly. Thanks for the help.

Answer

When you select a dwarf in the (u)nit list, you must use zoom-cre(c). This will center the screen on the dwarf in question, and allow you to the it's status(z), (w)ounds, his (i)ventory and, what you're searching for, his (p)references. There, you can change his work preference.

You can also view this screen by pressing (v) in the main screen, and move the cursor to the dwarf you want to view.
