Notes

  • The first item in the Workpapers grid of the Insert Workpaper Link dialog is highlighted by default.
  • Links can be created only for workpapers that are present in the same engagement binder as the current Microsoft Word or Excel workpaper.
  • Links open as read-only if the target of the link is checked out, disconnected, or otherwise in use in the engagement binder.
  • Links open in the same format in which the workpaper was created (for example, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Adobe Reader).
  • Links to PDFs launch in the default reader that is installed on your workstation. If you need to update it in a PDF editor, such as the editor installed with Workpapers CS or externally in Adobe Acrobat, be sure to launch the PDF from the Engagement Binders Tree portlet.
