<strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> takes over the application’s File - Open, File - Save, File - Save<br />

As, and File - Close menu items, and whenever you choose these tasks you<br />

actually access the <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> library, instead of the Windows file system.<br />

From the library you can retrieve and save both existing and new<br />

documents <strong>with</strong>out having to leave your familiar desktop application.<br />

The ODMA support provided by <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> facilitates access to<br />

<strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> during a single application work session wherein you open,<br />

check out, edit, and check in an existing document; or, create, save, and<br />

check in a new document. If you need to, though, you can edit a document<br />

in multiple work sessions, saving intermediate changes to <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> to<br />

allow you to access your work in progress <strong>from</strong> the library in the next application<br />

work session.<br />

If you need to keep a local copy of the document you are working on, you can<br />

check it back into the <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> library through your Web browser or<br />

Notes. This option may be useful, for example, if you want to take the<br />

document home to work on it. (If, however, you try to save the local file back<br />

to the library through your application, it will be saved as a new file, and this<br />

is probably not the outcome you’d want.)<br />

About <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> and supported applications<br />

12 <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> User Guide<br />

Any application that is not integrated <strong>with</strong> <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> is a “supported”<br />

application. <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> can store and manage the content created by<br />

supported applications, but these applications work <strong>with</strong> <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong><br />

differently than integrated applications do. <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> does not replace or<br />

add options to the File menu or toolbar for supported applications.<br />

When using a supported application, you can’t work in an applicationcentric<br />

method. You’ll need to go to a Notes client or browser to store or<br />

retrieve <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> documents. Then you can choose to view or edit the<br />

document, causing <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> to launch the associated application and<br />

open the document.<br />

If you edit a checked-out document, you’ll need to save it to the local file<br />

system, then check it into <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> through a browser or Notes. When<br />

you check in the document, <strong>Domino</strong>.<strong>Doc</strong> retrieves it <strong>from</strong> the local file<br />

system, saves it, and checks it in.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
