To open file attachments:If an Eclipse record displays an Image Indicator (*i*), usually in its top-right corner, it has an image or document attached to it. Open the document or image directly from the record for viewing or output. Opening a scanned image enlarges that image's display in an Image Information screen. Opening any other file type launches its associated application.
For example, if your system has Microsoft Word available and is registered for ".doc" files, that program launches when you use the Attachment Viewer to open that file type. As long as you have the appropriate application programs on your computer, you can use the Attachment Viewer for audio files, movies, documents, and image files.
See the Attachment Viewer Help for more information about using that program.
To open file attachments:Display an Eclipse record that has a file attached. This record displays an Image Indicator (*i*).
Press Shift-F8 or click the Image Indicator to display the File Attachments screen.
The columns on the Attachments screen list each file name, index profile used, the date and time each file was attached, plus each file's three letter extension. For example, scanned images often have a .tif extension, word processing files often have a .doc extension, and so on. The files are listed in the order they were attached, with the newest files at the top of the list. The View All category lists the total number of file attachments–8 in this example.
Do one of the following to launch the appropriate program and open the document:
While the cursor is on the View All field, press Esc or Enter to display the Attachment Viewer screen. Then double-click on the document or image you want to view.
Use the Down Arrow key to move the cursor to the document or image you want to view, then press Esc or Enter.
The document or image displays in its associated application or in the Image Information screen.
Click the Close button to close the document and return to the Attachments screen.
Press Esc to exit the Attachments screen.
