Working
with documents
How
to open a file
From the main window of eDoc (Folder
view) select the folder you want. Then the files included
in the folder you just selected will be listed in the window
Documents. In order to open the file you want, doubleclick
on it (or press the right button of the mouse and select
Open). Another
way to open a file is to select the Open function
from the Documents menu.
How
to move a file
You
can remove a file from one folder to another by using the
drag-and-drop method. The procedure you follow is: Select
the file you want to remove, click on it using the left
button of the mouse and, as you keep clicking, remove it
along with the file on the “destination” folder.
How
to view a file
If you would like to just view a picture file (e.g. files
of gif, tiff, jpeg type) you can achieve this easily by
using the view icon on the toolbar. Another way to view
a file is to select it, rightclick on it and press the View
function. A third alternative is to select the
View function from the Documents menu.
CAUTION:
The view function applies only to picture files (tiff, jpg,
gif, bmp e.t.c.).
How
to duplicate a file
If you want to make a copy of a file, just select it, rightclick
on it and press the Duplicate Documents function or you
can select the function Duplicate from the Documents menu.
How
to delete a file
In order to delete a file, select it, rightclick on it and
press the Delete function. Then the program will
ask you to confirm the deletion.
Note:
All documents that are deleted are automatically
transferred to folder “Deleted documents”.
To permanent delete those documents, delete them
from folder “Deleted documents” or just empty this folder
by right clicking and selecting “Erase Deleted Documents”.
How
to rename a file
If
you need to change the name of a file, rightclick on it
and press the Rename function. Alternatively, you
can left-click on the Document you have already selected.
Then, just write the new Document name at the position where
the old name exists.
Properties
By selecting Properties from the Document submenu
(rightclick on the document you selected) a dialogue frame
appears which includes the following fields:
Name:
Includes the name of the document that is
viewed in eDoc. Please note that this name is not similar
to the real name of your file in your hard disk.
Keyword
/ Subject :
By using these fields you can search, classify or rank your
files more easily.
The document
properties also include useful information about the file,
such as absolute file path, size, type as well as whether
it has stitched items.
Note:
If a document is a stitched file (see below) then the buttons
“Stitched” and “Documents” appear. If you press the button
“Documents” you can navigate through all the documents of
the stitch and view or edit their properties. If you press
the button “Stitched” you can view/edit the properties of
the stitch.
Multiple
Document properties
You can select multiple documents and see or change their
properties, by selecting Document Properties from
the Document submenu (rightclick on the selected documents).
Fill
the fields of the document and then select previous or next
if you want to proceed to the previous or next document
among the selected ones. A faster way to achieve that is
to press the PageUp and PageDown buttons of the keyboard.
Note:
You can apply the same field value to all selected documents
by clicking on the small button on the right side of each
field.
Multi
Page Documents
If you want to stitch two or more Documents, you select
them and press the stitch icon from the toolbar. The Stitch
Documents dialogue frame appears and you have
to give the stitch name of the file and then press OK.
You
can easily view which files are included in a stitched file,
by selecting the file and select preview in order to see
the files it includes by moving the bar right or left.
How
to insert pages into
a stitch
When you select Insert Page from the
Document submenu, you can insert additional pages
to a stitch you have selected. These pages can be inserted
either from the clipboard or through existing files in the
disk.
In
order to unstitch files all you have to do is select the
stitched MultiPage Document and press the unstitch icon
on the toolbar. Alternatively, you can select unstitch from
the Documents menu. In order to complete the procedure,
select the documents you want to unstitch and press OK.
Slide
Shows
If you select SlideShow (from the submenu of documents
or the Documents menu) on a stitched document, a
simple slide show appears on the screen, which depicts the
pictures included in a stitched document. On the lower level
of the screen the name of each document/picture appears.
CAUTION:
The slide show function applies only to picture files (tiff,
jpg, gif, bmp e.t.c.), whereas for files that are not supported
through this function the sign x appears.
You
can also define the delay of each document/picture for automatic
slide show, by selecting the Options button.
Email
If you want to send a file through e-mail, click on the
respective icon on the Toolbar. eDoc will open the e-mail
program you are currently using in order to send it as an
attached file.
