The default file viewer in TimeMap is Microsoft® Word. To find out if you have additional file viewers set up in TimeMap, click on the Tools menu and then click File Viewers on the submenu. The File Viewers dialog box displays a listing of all programs that have been added to your licensed copy of TimeMap. Here you can add, remove, and edit file viewers, as well as change the default viewer being used. Other users who want to view the same native source files need to ensure they have added necessary applications to the File Viewers dialog box too.
If you need to change file viewers for a set of linked documents, use the Bulk Change File Viewer utility. This utility changes all linked files in the case that are associated with a selected CaseMap file viewer to use a different file viewer instead.

We recommend you make a backup copy of the timeline before making any global changes, like changing file viewers. Once the process is completed, you cannot undo the changes without restoring a backup copy of the timeline.
