Opening documents from other word processors
You can open documents from other word processors the same way you open WriteUp documents.
![]() | Choose Document from the main menu. Choose Open from the Document menu to display the Open panel. In the Open panel, select the file or files you want to open. Click OK. |
![]() | Drag the document over the WriteUp application icon. While holding down the command key, release the document. |
![]() | Double click on the document in the Workspace. If the document's default application is set to WriteUp (see the Tools inspector in the Workspace application) the document will automatically be opened in WriteUp. |
![]() | When you first install WriteUp the Workspace may set the default application of all the document types supported by WriteUp (.wub, .rtf, .rtfd, .wp, .doc, etc.) to the WriteUp.app application. To change this behavior (e.g. if you want Edit to be the default application for rtf documents), use the Tools Inspector in the Workspace application. |
![]() | When you open a document from another word processor, the document's name will be changed to Untitled, but the document will remember what it's format is the next time you save. You may save the document back to the original file name, but there is no guarantee that all items in the file will be saved back. This is because some word processors support features that are not yet supported in WriteUp. |
