Connecting to your Server
After installing TeamSpec and launching Word, the first thing you will want to do
is connect to your Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Click the TeamSpec tab to display
the TeamSpec ribbon bar. The ribbon bar is the home of all of TeamSpec's major features.
You will notice that everything is greyed-out except for the "Add TFS Connection
button" and the "Help" button. The greyed-out tools will become accessible once
you have connected to a server.
Click the "Add TFS Connection" button. If you have not already, take this opportunity
to register your copy of TeamSpec. Then you will see the "Connect to Team Project"
dialog window. Select your Team Foundation Server from the drop-down menu. If your
desired server doesn't appear in that menu, click the "Servers..." button to add it.
Select your project collection from the field on the left and check the boxes of
any projects in the collection you want to connect to on the right. When you are
done, click "Connect."
TeamSpec supports connection to multiple projects or even multiple servers. To connect
to an additional server, repeat the process for your desired Team Foundation Server.
You can connect to as many servers and projects as you want, however, you can only
work within one server and project at a time. The server and project that you are
connected to is displayed in the left-hand end of the TeamSpec ribbon bar.
Select a different server or project from the corresponding drop-down to access
its content.
