Open Existing ReportWorks Documents

ReportWorks | File | Open

If there is no ReportWorks window yet displayed on the screen, you will need to create a new ReportWorks window first.
To open an existing ReportWorks document, select the Open command from the File menu.
The program will display a prompt window in which you may specify the name of the file to open. ReportWorks opens files that were stored in a ".rwRpt" (current verson) format, as well as ".RW6" and ".RWR" files from older versions of ReportWorks. (See the Tools menu for options that insert other graphic file types into the current page layout.)
In the displayed dialog box, select the file you wish to open, accessing other drives or directories as necessary.
When you are ready to plot the image in a window on the screen, choose the OK button. The program will load the document into the ReportWorks window.

! Note that if you are opening an older ReportWorks ".RW6" or ".RWR" file and it contains old-format RockPlot2D images (.RW6), those images will be omitted. You will need to open the old RockPlot2D files into the current version of RockPlot2D, update them to the new .rw2D format, and re-insert them into the ReportWorks document.

! Note that if there are linked images in this document (RockPlot2D images; LogPlot logs; or BMP, JPG, EMF, WMF, TIF or other images) and these image files have been moved, the program will warn you that the files cannot be located. You will have the opportunity to browse for the images so that their paths can be updated.
