About TextMap menus
Contents
TextMap's Menu bar is located at the top left of the TextMap screen, just below the Microsoft® Windows Title bar. Click on each menu name to access a drop-down menu of commands, each providing additional functionality or duplicate toolbar button functionality in TextMap.
The commands on each menu affect the transcript currently in view. Some options will give you an arrow that opens a submenu of additional tools. Most of the menu commands also have corresponding keyboard shortcuts. See Using keyboard shortcuts.
The File menu contains menu items useful to accessing your case, such as New Local Case, Open Local Case, Open SQL Case, Close Case, and Exit. The File menu also has options for importing data from other applications, exporting case issues, transcripts, annotations, and linked exhibits, changing report options in the Page Setup dialog box, creating a replica and synchronizing data from a replica case with the master file. Printing options are also listed on this menu. And you can view case properties too.
