Launching Editors on Items in a Link Diagram

You can select an item in the link diagram and open it using the default editor associated with that item. For example, if a link diagram shows that an item contains a broken link, you can quickly open the item with the broken link in its editor and search for the problem.

The default editor for an item is determined by the file-type association set from either My Computer or the Windows^® Explorer. For example, if you open an item with a .doc extension, the document is opened in Microsoft^® Word. For more information on file-type associations, see Windows Help.
