IBM Lotus Symphony
|
The window when you first open IBM Lotus Symphony is called the main window or the parent window, which has a tab line and always a home page. To open a document in a child window (that is independent from the main window), right-click the tab of the document and select Open in New Window.
To restrict the display of files in the Open dialog to a certain type select the corresponding File type from the list. Select All Files (*.*) to display all files.
In general, all documents open with the cursor at the start of the document.
One exception appears when the author of a Lotus® Symphony™ Documents Lotus Symphony document saves and reopens a document: The cursor will be at the same position where it has been when the document was saved. This only works when the name of the author was entered in File - Preferences - Symphony - User Data.
Press Shift+F5 to set the cursor to the last saved position.
Click the New icon on the Standard bar or choose File - New. This opens a document of the document type specified.
On most operating systems, you can choose to use the system file dialogs or Lotus Symphony dialogs.
Choose
to switch the type of open/save dialogs.The Lotus Symphony dialogs support file download and upload using secure https connections.
You can enter a URL in the File name box of the Open dialogs. The URL must start with file:/// or ftp:// or http://.
If you use the Lotus Symphony dialog, you can use the https:// prefix for a secure connection, and you can save a document on the web server.

When you open a file by a URL from the Windows file dialog, Windows will open a local copy of the file, located in the Internet Explorer cache. The Lotus Symphony file dialog opens a local copy of the file in the system's temp folder. |
