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 through other file
names.
Warning Unlike many Windows applications, FXDeko does not always
open a new window when you open a file. If a window of the
appropriate type is already open, FXDeko 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.
To re-open the current file:
From the File menu, choose Revert.
