Open a file
When you launch Working Papers, the Open menu displays by default. You can easily access files from different sources, such as a local workstation, a Citrix or terminal server, a SmartSync Server, or CaseWare Cloud.
If you are opening a file from a previous version of Working Papers, you must first convert the file.
To open a file in Working Papers:
- Launch CaseWare Working Papers.
- On the ribbon, click File | Open.
-
Select where you want to open the file from:
Option Description Recent Files Opens the Recent Files list and displays the most recently accessed files, pinned files and local sync copies. Double-click on a file to open it.
Computer Opens the Computer list and displays the most recently accessed folders on your local and network drives. Double-click on a folder or click Browse to launch the Open Existing File dialog. Navigate to the file, then select it and click Open.
SmartSync Server Opens the SmartSync Server list and displays the firm's SmartSync Server (or Cloud site) with a list of available files. Use the search bar to filter the list based on various file properties. Double-click on a file to open it. If it is the first time you open that file on the workstation, Working Papers will create a local sync copy.
Note: Click Add Server to add a new server or Cloud site to the list, or click Manage Servers to organize them into groups. Groups display in the Open menu for quicker access.
The file opens in Working Papers.
