OPENING FILES

To open an existing file:

1. From the File menu, choose Open (Ctrl+O or F9).
2. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the drive and directory that contain
the file.
3. Choose the file from the File Name list box or type the file name in the
File Name text box, then click OK or press Enter.
4. The next time you call up the File Open dialog box, you will be
prompted with the name of the next file in the current directory. Use the
cursor up and down keys to scroll thr o ugh other file names.
Warning Unlike many Windows applications, Deko500 does not always
open a new window when you open a file. If a window of the
appropriate type is already open, Deko500 opens the file into
that window, replacing the previous file. Be sure to save any
modified file before opening another file in the same window.

To open a new file:

1. Activate a window for the type of file you wish to open.
2. From the File menu, choose New (Ctrl+N). This command varies
depending on what type of window is active. For example, if a Style
window is active, the command is New Style.
Note When you open a new file, it is opened into a new window.
Other open files remain open behind the new file.
Deko500 only allows one Program Window to be open at a
time. You may have two open preset Style Windows.
Sequence, Macro, or Custom Typeface allow multiple open
windows.

To re-open the current file:

From the File menu, choose Revert.
