Open an Open Plan File

Use this procedure to open an Open Plan file.

To open an Open Plan file:

1. Take one of the following actions:
   • On the File menu, click Open.
   • Press CTRL+O.
   • On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Open button.
2. In the File Open dialog box, select the type of file that you want to open from the List Files of Type list.
3. Select the file that you want to open.
4. Select the mode (Exclusive, Shared, or Read Only) in which you want to open the file.
   When you open a project, Open Plan attempts to open its ancillary files in the mode specified on the Preferences tab of its Project Properties dialog box. This setting overrides the default access mode for the ancillary file as set in its own Properties dialog box.
5. Click OK.

You can select multiple files to open at once by using either SHIFT+click or CTRL+click for the desired files and then clicking OK.
