Use a Custom Library Splash Screen

You can attach a custom splash screen to any HotDocs library. The splash screen is displayed each time the library is opened. Template set publishers use library splash screens to identify ownership of or contributors to the templates in a library.

To attach a splash screen to a library

  1. Create a bitmap file (.BMP) of your splash screen, then save it with the same base name as your published library name. For example, the splash screen for the published library with the file name PUBBusiness.hdl would be PUBBusiness.bmp.
  2. Save the splash screen file to the same folder as the library file to which you want it associated. (If you are publishing an auto-install file, add the file at the Additional Files dialog box of the Publishing Wizard.)

When a user opens a library by clicking the HotDocs button in the word processor toolbar, no splash screens are displayed.
