To open presentations:
From the menu bar, Select File, then Open.
The Open dialog box is displayed and lists the current folder contents, specified by location.
As you navigate, the selection frame lists the files and folders indicated by Files of Type.
Optional: Sort large lists of documents and presentations using these options:
Right-click the selection frame and select View, then Detail.
The selection frame features three columns Name, File Type, and Last Modified.
Click a column header to sort the selection frame contents in ascending order, by that column.
Click the column header again to sort the selection frame contents in descending order, by that column.
Select a presentation (or additional documents and presentations) using these options:
To select a presentation from the selection frame, click the presentation name or icon.
To select a series of document or presentations from the selection frame, click a file name and press and hold Shift while selecting another file name. The first selection, the last selection and all files in between are selected.
To select multiple files, not necessarily in a series, hold down Ctrl while clicking file names in the selection panel.
To deselect items, click outside the Name column or on empty white space.
If the first document in a presentation uses a Database Connection requiring log on, you are prompted by the Database Login dialog box.
If prompted by the Database Login dialog box, enter a User ID and password for the Database Connection. Select the Save User ID and Password option to store log on credentials for the Database Connection, and click OK.
The selected presentation (and other selections) are displayed as content tabs below the content area. The first document in the selected presentation is opened and displayed as the current document.
In the Open dialog box, you can select multiple documents and presentations. If you select multiple documents, documents are opened in the order in which they are listed in the Selection frame.
If you open multiple presentations containing the same document, only the first instance of the document is opened. It may appear that the document did not open or opened in the wrong order. Only one instance of a document can be opened (and modified).
