Logging on to OfficeTalk

To log on to OfficeTalk, first run the application by double clicking the left mouse button on the OfficeTalk program item.

OfficeTalk Program Item

The Login dialog box will appear. If you have logged on previously at the same workstation, then your login name will already be selected in the Login Name field. If not, either type in your login name or select it from the list.

Next, enter your password. When you were initially set up as a user, OfficeTalk defaults your password to exactly the same characters as your login name. For example, if your name was John

Smith and your login name was JS then your password would also be JS. (Note that case sensitivity is important). You may change your password from the Login dialog box.

Note: Case sensitivity is important in both the Login Name and Password fields.

Selecting your login name from the pull down list

Once you have entered your password, press the button, or, alternatively, press the ENTER key on the keyboard. OfficeTalk will then log you in. By default, when you log in, you enter Diary Mode. You may specify which mode to start in.

Some of our users have suffered the ultimate indignity of being locked out of the system simply because their network supervisor forgot their password. Please ensure that you have set two users as supervisors.
