To open a bin directly:

Double-click the icon next to the bin name.

To open a bin from the File menu:

Select File > Open Bin.

The Open dialog box opens.

Select a bin. Navigate to the correct folder, if necessary.

Never open a bin that is stored on a floppy disk; otherwise, the system cannot save your work. Always copy the bin to a project folder on the internal hard drive (Windows) or the Macintosh HD (Macintosh) before you open it.
