Downloading and Installing or Removing Click2Doc.
Downloading
1) Create a Download Folder
First, organizing your download files will help. Let's
start by creating a new folder (directory) called
C:\My Downloads for your
use.
This will be the folder you use for all downloaded items. Sub
directories can be created when needed.
Using Windows Explorer or from My Computer: Open your C: drive, and then click on these menu items, one after the other: File | New > Folder. When a folder entitled New Folder is created, rename it "My Downloads".
2) Downloading a File
Click on the download link.
(Some browsers require "right click" and "Save Target
as..")
You will get the File Download Dialog box from Windows. You may be asked
to choose between A) Open the file from its Present Location or B) Save this
file to Disk or it may automatically open the "SAVE As Dialog depending on
you computer.
At the top of the
dialog box it will say something like "Save In:" and you will be able
to select a directory (folder).
Select "My Downloads". (in this example the folder name is
"Download"
Then
click "Save" at the bottom of the dialog box.
Once the download is completed, you are ready to proceed with installation.

downloaded file:

Preparing for Use with POP email. (AOL and Web Mail Users Skip this Section and go to: "Preparing for Use with AOL or Web Mail Programs" below)
1. To Verify that Click2Doc is properly installed. Click the Start button, and choose Settings, then click Printers.

3. Click "OK" on the Click2Doc dialog box. This action should open your default email client and insert the Click2Doc "printer.exe" test file as an attachment and include a message of instruction in the email body.
IF your default email client fails or IF Click2Doc opens the wrong email program, your email client is not properly installed and or your Messaging API ( a program in Windows) has been made unavailable by other programs. Consult with YOUR administrator or technician to correct. In the mean while you may use Click2Doc by following the instructions for AOL and Web Mail Users which requires MANUALLY attaching the file after document creation.
4. Send the email to yourself by inserting your own email address. Send. Wait a moment and receive the email you just sent. In most clients you can open the Click2Doc file by double clicking, on others you will need to save the file first, then open. Look at the test page. If it is the Windows test page with the details about the Click2Doc application, then Click2Doc is now ready to be use with most any Windows software application. Most anything that can be printed can be converted into a Click2Doc document set for sending as an email attachment or saving as an electronic file.
