Adding/changing file viewers

The default file viewer in TextMap is Microsoft® Word. To find out if you have additional file viewers set up in TextMap, click on the Tools menu and click File Viewers. The File Viewers dialog box displays a listing of all programs that have been added to your licensed copy of TextMap. Here you can add, remove, and edit file viewers, as well as change the default viewer being used. Other users who want to view the same native source files need to ensure they have added necessary applications to the File Viewers dialog box too.
