editing imported '.doc'

janrif · #1 04-25-2007, 03:47 PM

?? I imported a .doc file, then opened it in external program (word) via <CTRL>+J, changed the format of the .doc & re-saved.

Isn't the updated .doc supposed to appear in the item's detail page? If so, this didn't happen for me this time. What am I missing? Thank you.

Changes to an externally modified stored document are not synchronized into UR until File | Save (or Tools | Save All External Documents) is invoked, or when switching to another item and back, or exiting UR.

Right. Here's the scenario: I imported a ".doc" file into URp. I opened it <CTRL>+J in 'Word'. Made my format changes & File | Save in 'Word'. Switched to another topic & back -- nothing. However, opening ".doc" again via <CTRL>+J shows ".doc" w changes. So where did I go wrong?

Thanks for the fast reply. ".doc" was not one of the extensions in the browsser. After making that change URp now opens 'Word' w the '.doc' file loaded in it. The file is never seen within URp.

Instead of importing file, if I open file outside of URp & paste as rtf file, then I can see it inside URp. I can also edit via <CTRL>+J & safe to URp where I can see the changes.
