Text View tab (View Options dialog)

To see this dialog, open the View menu and select Options.  Click on the Text View tab.

New Deed Entry - Select the method you want to use for entering new deeds. There are three options:

•         Manual entry means that the Text View is blank when you add a new deed. You then type the deed text using Metes & Bounds Language.

•         If you choose Deed Template, the Text View is pre-filled with an empty deed description. You need only customize the deed description.  The Deed Template speeds up deed entry and reduces the need to remember the various codes for entering deed information.

•         The Deed Entry Form is the default method for deed entry.  It provides a structured way to enter the information the program needs to plat the deed.

Deed Template - Press the Save button to have the current Text View saved as the new deed template. New deeds that are added to the deed file will initialize to the template, provided that the New Deed Entry method is set to Deed Template.  This command is only available if you are in the Text View.

Font - Pressing this button will cause the Font dialog box to be displayed. Use it to change the font used in the Text View.
