Introduction: HotDocs Options

You can change the way HotDocs looks and works by changing your preferences by clicking HotDocs Options from the toolbar (or Tools menu) in your HotDocs Library. These changes affect the program regardless of which template you are using. (Some options, however, can be controlled at the template or component file level.)

For example, from the HotDocs Options dialog box, you can specify several options that will help you develop templates more efficiently. You can also control the way HotDocs presents interview information during assembly, and you can control the way the information is presented in an assembled document. Finally, some options let you control where you save your HotDocs files—both program files as well as word processor files.

Settings specified at HotDocs Options are user-specific and are saved in the Current User key of the Windows System Registry. For information on working with the registry, see the Windows Help file.
