Opening documents saved in other formats

You can open a document saved in another format by using the following procedure:

1. Choose \<emph\>File - Open\</emph\>.

2. Select a format from the\<emph\> Files of type\</emph\> list.

3. Select a file name and click \<emph\>Open\</emph\>.

If you always want the file dialogs to show another format by default, choose - Load/Save - General and select that format as Default file format.
