Sanction Taskbar

You can remove the Taskbar from the Presentation Mode in Sanction, so all your audience is seeing is the presentation.  Sometimes when you do this you will still see a space of wall paper.  To fix this you need to go to Program Files --> SanctionII --> Utilities,  and click on VSSII8SettingsReader.exe.  Change Root to: Presentation, and Key to: Taskbar.  In the blank space type in -1, and hit set.  That will get rid of the space.

Sanction II and Legal Training

One of my clients is gearing up for a big trial and decided to purchase Sanction II by Verdict Systems.  This client decided to bring in a consultant from Verdict to teach the office how to use Sanction.  I thought this was a brilliant move.  Sanction is an easy program to use, but the day of training got the staff on the same page and probably put us a couple of months ahead if we tried to learn it ourselves.

This client graciously invited me to come to the training and I thought is was very interesting.  I have no plan to add Trial Consulting to Law Office Technology's list of services in the immediate future but it always helps to learn about Legal Software. One of the things I was disappointed to discover was that Worldox and Sanction have trouble working together because of some .dll issue.  I hope Worldox fixes this soon because the two programs could be pretty powerful together. Sanction has a pretty impressive list of clients which include the UN, over 90% of the Top 100 Law Firms in the US, and the Department of Justice.  I am going to blog about to remove the tool bar in presentation view which is ridiculous, but I cannot help myself.
