Working Remote and Document Creation.

OfficeTalk users can create and archive documents while remote. However document templates are not copied down when a user goes remote and the following instructions will need to be followed if users wish to create and archive documents while remote.

1. Create a directory on the machine that you using to work remote from and call it c:\remtempl.
2. Copy the templates you wish to use when working remote from your otalk\_tmpltes directory to your c:\remtempl directory.
3. Before you work remote, go to Contact Mode and select Document Templates from the Edit menu.
4. Add the templates by pressing the New button and specifying the path of the document as c:\remtempl\template name. To avoid confusion between your `remote' templates and those held on the main OfficeTalk, add (Remote) after the templates name. Ensure that the Personal radio button is selected.
5.  

6. 

7. Document Template dialog box
8. When the user works remote they will need to ensure that they have checked the Contact box i.e. , otherwise the OfficeTalk address book will not be downloaded.
9. When the user works remote, they will be able to access the template stored in the c:\remtempl directory. If OfficeTalk reports that it cannot generate a valid document file, the user has tried to use a template that it stored in the otalk\_tmpltes directory rather than a template stored in the c:\remtempl directory.
10. When users select Update Main Database or Work Online, any documents created while working remote will be added to the main database.
