Provides access to the majority of your personal preferences within ALMSys and ALMSys Quotes.

General Page
Use Web Help: If you are on a network version of ALMSys, then you will need to mark this as Yes. Microsoft goes way out of its way to block HTML displayed over a network. In this case, ALMSys needs to get your help topics from the Internet. If you are on a standlone version of ALMSys, then either Yes or No should retrieve your help topics.

EMail Templates Editor: If you generate letters for customers, then you may select between the HTML editor or the RTF editor. The RTF editor does NOT send emails; only merge and print for a single deal is available. (THe RTF editor is a resurrection of the "Communicate" screen from ALMSys 6.5 and before.)

Appearance - Scale Percentage: This will allow you to enlarge most of the screens and fonts in ALMSys by up to 150%. Use this ONLY if you have trouble seeing the screens or if you have a very high resolution monitor. (The Windows display settings "scale" does not work with ALMSys...and that is on purpose as it very often has less than desirable effects.) If you change this, please log out and back into ALMSys to get the full effect.

Change Password Page
