Opening a document

To open an existing document,

• Choose Open Document from the File menu. The Open dialog appears.
• Select the document you want to open from the list box. All documents available to open will be displayed in the list.
• Click the Open button.

The document you have selected will open in a new document window.

Ambry lets you have multiple documents open at once. The number of documents you can open is limited only by the amount of memory available on your computer.

Broken object links

Sometimes, when you open a document copied from another computer, you may get a dialog explaining that there is a broken object link. Ambry stores references to objects, such as an object's parent, it identifies both the document the object is in and the ID of that object. When Ambry can't find the document of a reference, it asks you to find the document or to clear the link.

If you clear the link, the object may lose some properties or other capabilities and may not behave as you'd expect.
