Default Newbie RAS question

This is going to be a very basic question, so please bear with me...
all my experience is with table saws...

I finally got the new table and fence on the garage sale Power Krap
RAS... after several tries, I came up with the right
mounting/adjusting setup to be able to get the table square with the
blade and cutting square in both directions.. (had a tough time
getting the table "leveled" at exactly 90 degrees from blade zero"

I ran some sample cross cuts last night and all came out surprisingly
square... must be the influence of this NG.. I now have a cool looking
kerf in the table to line up cuts with and all is fine in THAT
direction...

My question is in ripping... how is this handled in relation to the
fence, as in moving it (adding or replacing filler strips) to adjust
your cut without having a bunch if cuts in the table??

I'm sure that I'm overlooking something simple, but the concept of an
upside down table saw that has the blade move and the work stationary
is really strange for me.. and the new table is too pretty to screw up
without asking how to do it right..
H E L P !!
