About TextMap menus
Contents
TextMap's Menu bar (now referred to as the Main Ribbon) is located at the top left of the TextMap screen. Click on each ribbon (e.g., Home) to access the menus/commands, each providing additional 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 commands also have corresponding keyboard shortcuts. See Using keyboard shortcuts.
The File menu contains menu items useful in getting started and accessing your case, such as New Case, Open 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. Print and Print Preview options are also listed on this menu. And you can view case properties too.
