Masterspec

Accessing Link on Windows

 

These instructions relate to using Masterspec Link with the Masterspec Standard, Structural & Civil, Services, Landscapes, Basic and Interiors Libraries. Link operates slightly differently with Masterspec Minor Residential - seperate instructions are at the bottom of the navigation.

Accessing Link

Open Word. When starting a new specification, have only a blank document open. Click on Masterspec on the Word Menubar. Select Open/Close Masterspec Link.

The screen divides into two - on the left is Word and on the right is Internet Explorer. The Masterspec Link login screen will appear in the Link window.
