When you view the content of a virtual document, you view the content of the parent document. The content opens in the parent document’s editing application.
If your application includes XML functionality and if you view an XML-based virtual document, you can view both the parent and descendants in a single read-only file. If there is no content in a virtual document, then Virtual Document Manager (VDM) automatically displays the virtual document’s structure.
To view the content of a virtual document in read-only mode:
If during this procedure Webtop or Java prompts you to accept applets, do so. Read all prompts carefully.
Navigate to the virtual document.
Click the name of the virtual document.
If necessary, do one of the following:
If Webtop displays a list of the top level descendants, then either click the virtual document’s name in the area above the list of descendants or select the virtual document’s checkbox and select File>View.
If Webtop prompts you to select between content and structure, select Open the content of the document. Click OK.
The document opens in read-only mode in the appropriate editing application.
