I don't see it. I do see something under the Analyze section. It seems that the page should be adjusted.

That picture of the "Capture Options" dialog box is the correct/modern one. Note that this dialog box is present in 1.8.0 and later only so if you're using an older version of Wireshark, you'll have a (significantly) different dialog box.

(IOW, the guides available on the web site reflect the current version of Wireshark--in actuality it's the current *development* version which is reflected.)
