I make all my staff and students use Atlantis which works very well.
I would like to give new students a file with very simplified system for them.
A basic toolbar,
Some Autocorret options,
and one Associate file option.
I think this could be done if I can
a) save my own settings file into a different folder
b) create the simplified settings
c) save the simplified settings into a different folder.
d) move my own settings back again.
Does this work?
If so where do I find the file? In my Windows/ Atlantis folder there is nothing like that.
Just Atlantis.exe / Hyphenation.dat/ Install.log/ License.txt
Merci comme toujours pour ta service excellente.
Saving custom toolbar and settings
Robert my students are in many different countries. I require them to install their own copies of Atlantis on their own home computers. So I have brought you about 600 customers over the last 10 years!
So I want to provide a copy of the file which holds custom settings -
custom toolbar
file association with RTF
a few settings in Autocorrect.

Shan, here is how I would go about this:
A) You need to create an INI file for yourself first. This file will include all your personal settings for Atlantis.
1. Launch Atlantis on your system.
2. Make sure that all options are set to suit your own needs in the various sub-menus (dialogs) of the “Tools” main menu:
B) Now you need to create an INI file for your students. This file will include all the settings that you want them to have for Atlantis.

2. Make sure that all options are set to suit your students’ needs in the various sub-menus (dialogs) of the “Tools” main menu:
4. Send this “Student’s Atlantis.ini” file to each of your students, and ask them to follow this procedure:
1. Launch Atlantis on your system.
2. Open the “Tools | Options…” dialog, and click the “Load from File…” button.
d) In the “Load Settings from File” dialog, select “Shan’s Atlantis.ini”, and open it.
e) Atlantis will ask you to confirm that you want to load the settings from “C:\Users\<USER’S NAME>\Documents\Atlantis\Shan’s Atlantis.ini”, and restart Atlantis. Click “Yes”.
f) Atlantis will relaunch itself with the settings included in “Shan’s Atlantis.ini”.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
