ALIM Web Help

Viewing a File

Files contained in ALIM Web documents are normally listed in the Files topic in the Content pane. Clicking a filename opens the file in its native application (if installed). It may also open within the ALIM Web window.

You may be prompted with a File Download dialog, confirming the file type and offering the options of Download or Open. If you select Open, the file opens within the ALIM Web window.

When a file opens within ALIM Web, the Content pane remains open and the document opens in this pane. Most of the native menus and controls are available, but editing is prevented in this mode.

To return to the original display, click the document class in the Navigation pane.

If the document is a photograph or a movie, for example, it may open in the Viewer as read-only. If an application capable of displaying the file is installed on your computer, it may also open within that application with full control.
