Creating, opening, and printing documents 2-11

In the Open dialog box, you can search for a document and choose the type

of document you want to open.

Note If you have the QuickTime extension in your Extensions folder (in your

System Folder), you see Show Preview under the scrolling list in the Open

dialog box. Selecting Show Preview displays a preview image (thumbnail

sketch) of a selected PICT, QuickTime, or AppleWorks word processing,

draw, or paint document. To create a preview, click the Create button when

the button is active (not dimmed). To save an AppleWorks document with a

preview image, choose Preferences from the Edit menu, choose General from the

Topic pop-up menu, select Create Preview in the Saved Documents area, and

then click OK. Then, save the document. For more information, see “Setting

preferences” on page 3-21.

Note You can also open a document using the Convert Documents script.

See “Converting documents” on page 2-19.
