Other Default Values

Working Directory

The working directory is where files essential to using mail merge, reports, and excel spreadsheets are created by Wintouch. The default setting for this directory is C:\wintouch. To specify a different working directory use the Browse button to navigate to it in the Path Chooser window.

Template Path: Choosing a Default Path for your Template Files

Use the Default Path field and adjacent Browse button to determine the folder location for all your Wintouch template files. Both the Print Template and Create Template windows will default to the path set here. Use the Browse button to locate a directory and folder by navigating to it in the Select window. If you know the template path, type it directly into the field.

Word/Excel Executable File: (Choosing a Default Path for Your Microsoft Word and Excel Executable Files)

Because these programs may be installed elsewhere, the path for winword.exe and excel.exe can be set by the user. When necessary the user may change the location of these two programs by locating the files and using the directory path in the fields provided. The current default path is set to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 .

The Default Time Zone you select will be the default Time Zone value for all Activities windows. If you leave the Default Time Zone value in Preferences blank, the Time Zone for Activities windows will default to the time zone set in Windows. Wintouch will ignore the Windows time zone setting if there is a Default Time Zone value in Preferences.

Reference Information URL

Use this field to enter a URL (http://, File://...) that you access frequently (i.e.: presentation database, competitor database, etc.) during the course of your day. For example, if you access Yahoo consistently, the URL http://www.google.com will create a link to Yahoo under Main Options > Reference Information. If you launch Word all the time, a URL such as file://C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Winword.exe will launch Microsoft word from Main Options Reference Information. For help on how to add, delete, and assign an icon to your reference information URLs, click here.(gotomeeting.com?) If you frequently have gotomeeting activities scheduled, you could store https://www1.gotomeeting.com set up in your Reference Information, and have a toolbar icon that can take you to the gotomeeting.com website when the activity comes up.
