Create/Save Project command
Create/Save Project allows you to save a MapMarker project file with all saved geocoding settings,
column mappings, table attributes settings, and some system preferences. These project file
settings will be used when the project is re-opened with the
Open Project command . The project
file settings override any of the existing metadata settings in the TAB file.
To save a project file, do the following:
1. In the File menu, click Projects, then Create/Save Project.
2. In the Save Project File As dialog box, type a name for the project. A PROJ file extension is
used.
Create User Dictionary command
Create User Dictionary allows you to create a customized user address dictionary from a MapInfo
street table using the User Dictionary Wizard. This dictionary can be used in place of, or along with,
the purchased MapMarker Address Dictionary when geocoding your records. Create User
Dictionary is available when MapMarker is running and no tables are open.
To start the User Dictionary Wizard:
• In the File menu, click Create User Dictionary.
Exit command
