SAPoffice: Default documents (note for the user)

Description

Default documents are document templates which can be assigned to a PC document when it is created. Default documents can have the character of a layout set, and may cover different versions of a PC application or be necessary for technical reasons.

Example

For WinWord documents (type DOC), there can be default documents for the WinWord versions 2.0 and 6.0. The default documents are displayed in a dialog box for selection when the function "Create document" is called.

In the Office user, you can determine per document type whether you want to retain the selected default document for the duration of the screen session or whether you would like the dialog box to be displayed each time the function "Create document" is called.

If your Office user has been set so that your default document is used for the entire session per document type, there are nevertheless two ways in which the default document can be changed:

Log off from R/3 and then log on again.

Select Office -> Administration -> Default documents.

Software/hardware requirements

You can only create and edit PC documents if you are working on a PC which has the required PC application. The system considers the application to be there if there is a valid entry for it in the PC register. This applies to all PC documents and therefore to default documents as well.

Changes to the interface

Change the setting in your Office user as follows:

1. Select Office -> Administration -> Office user.
Your name has already been set in the next screen.

2. Select User -> Change.

3. Via the field Retain default document in the next screen, specify

whether you want to retain your default document (per document type) for the duration of a session:
select the field

whether you want to decide each time which default document to use:
leave the field blank.

4. Save your entry.
