You can edit one of the items in a resource—such as a Word file—from
within the DITA Perspective using your default editor.
Note: An editor must be associated with the extension of the file type you intend to
edit.
-
Use Search to find the resource to
edit.
-
In the
Search Results view, right-click the resource and select Edit from the menu.
The Progress Information dialog is
displayed while the file is locked and the Show/Edit
Resource dialog then appears.
-
Select the Item name to edit.
-
Click Edit.
The document opens in the default editor specified for
this type of file. For example, a .doc or
.docx file might open in Microsoft Word, and a
.pdf file might open in Adobe Acrobat. Note that you
must have associated an editor with the extension of the file type you intend to
edit.
-
Make the required changes to the document and save it as you
normally would in the editor (using CTRL+S in Word, for example).
-
Close the document.
-
In the IXIA CCMS Desktop Show/Edit Resource dialog, click OK.
-
In the
Search Results view, right-click the resource and select
Release from the menu.
The edited document replaces the previous document in the repository and all descriptive information is saved.
