| <H1>Opening files for editing</H1> |
| <p> |
| You can launch an editor for a given file in several ways. |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>By right-clicking the file in the Navigator view and then |
| selecting <b> Open</b> from the pop-up menu.</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking the file in the Navigator view</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking a bookmark that is associated with that |
| file, in the Bookmarks view</li> |
| <li>By double-clicking a problem, error, warning, or task record |
| that is associated with that file, in the Tasks view</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>All of the above alternatives open the file in the default |
| editor for that type of file. To open it in a different editor, select |
| <b>Open With</b> from the file's pop-up menu.</p> |
