All NExS operations which involve file input or output
such as opening, saving, and printing a spreadsheet use
the Motif standard File Selection Dialog with slight
variations.
The File Selection dialog box displays an alphabetical
list in the Files section of all spreadsheets in the
directory highlighted in the Directories list whose names
meet the criteria in your Filter. If the list is large,
all the spreadsheet names may not fit in the boxes.
- To move the selection highlight, use the up and down
arrow keys, or move the mouse pointer to the desired
name and click.
- To scroll through the list of spreadsheet names,
click the up and down arrows along the right side of
the list box, or drag the scroll box.
- To jump to a specific alphabetical section of the
list, type the first character(s) of the name of the
spreadsheet you are looking for in front of the
asterisk (*). The dialog box then starts the
display at the first spreadsheet names starting with
those characters.
To select a different directory, double-click on the
directory name in the Directories list. NExS then
displays the names of files in that directory in the
Files list.
To select a spreadsheet, double-click on the spreadsheet
name, or click the name once and then click OK to
complete the operation.
To cancel the operation after viewing the dialog box,
click Cancel.
