A listing of the existing documents in the selected folder appears below. The files shown are restricted to those of the file format specified in the Files of type box.

Depending on what you are trying to open or load, CaseView selects a default format for the file. Use the drop-down list to select a different file format. As you select different formats the files shown in the folder listing will change.
