## How to Add a File to an existing Document

| ### What to do:
| Select Start > Documents > Office documents. The Office documents mask is opened.
| Select 1000009.
| To add a file click . The Save file window is opened.
| Select a file (e.g. FountainPen from the hard disk). The new file is added to the document.
| Please note that when adding a second file to a document the file type will change to Unknown for both files!
| If there are two files assigned and one of them is deleted, the file type of the remaining file is not automatically reset to the original value! A possible workaround would be to write a function in Logview that checks if there's only one file attached to the document and then determines the file type!
| Because the system will take over the properties of the assigned file, the document title may have to be changed to the previous one again.
| The file is already added to the Files tab. No extra Save action is required.
| The following fields are filled in automatically when a document is created:
Title | The file name is entered as title.
File Type | The field contains the file type taken from the Windows Registry.
Author | The document property 'Author' is entered in this field for MS Office files.
| See the tab Properties for additional fields which can be filled in automatically. To fill them automatically, the function must be supported by the Office Suite Integration for the respective file type and the system administrator needs to define the reference between the field in the document mask and the file properties entry.
