Installation
Before you start with the lessons you need to install CaseTalk. In the lessons we refer to the installation folder for CaseTalk as ...\CaseTalk.
Configuration File
If CaseTalk was installed on your computer you will find settings and configuration files in your roaming profile folder (..\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Casetalk<Version>). By removing these files CaseTalk will be restored to the default options.

The Windows interface

All objects within this rectangle will be selected as soon as you release the left mouse button.
