-
Select File > Send To Directory. If no file has been
previously opened, the File Selection dialog box appears:
|
If you opened files prior to selecting File >
Send To Directory, the Send To Directory dialog
box directly appears. Jump to step 3. to follow the scenario.
|
|
-
Select the Version 5 document you want to copy as shown
above.
-
Click Open. The Send To Directory
dialog box opens:
|
In the upper part of the dialog box you can see a
list of all the different documents linked to the document you
selected for the copy operation.
Note that all documents are displayed, whether they are directly or
recursively linked to the selected one.The four columns provide
information about the file name, the file type, the location and
whether or not the file was found. |
-
Click the Copy all files
button between the two lists. The dialog box then looks something like
this:
|
The files have now been sorted. The list in the
lower part of the box shows a list of those files that will be
copied. In the upper list remain those files that could not be
found. This can be remedied by selecting either Tools >
Options > General > Document or Edit > Links (see
Localizing Linked Documents or
Editing Document Links). |
If you prefer, you can select the files in the
upper list individually and use the Copy selected files
button to transfer them to the lower list.
If you want to select the files by type, place the cursor inside
the list and right-click to display the list of file types and then
select the appropriate type. (Selecting by type in this way
operates of course in the lower list as well.) |
-
If you want to keep the same directory structure in the
target directory, select Keep Directory Structure between the
two lists. Once selected, this check box remains selected when you next
select File > Send To Directory.
|
Bear in mind that this option is
not available or has no effect if the files to be copied have no
directory structure in common. |
|
It might be useful, especially if
copying files to a diskette, to know the size of the documents to
be copied. You find this just above the Copy to box.
OK might, as in the case shown above, be grayed out.
This means that problems shown in the Problem column
have not been resolved. |
As well as the information provided in
the upper list, the lower list also contains a column showing
potential problems such as duplicate file names. In case of
duplicate file names, you have different ways of resolving this:
- select one of the identically named files and click the
Reset selected files
button to move it to the upper list i.e. not include it in the
files to be copied
- select the Keep Directory Structure check box thus
avoiding having files with the same name in the same directory
- rename one of the files using Rename Target.
|
-
If you want to give one of the files a different name in
the target directory, select the file and click Rename Target
in the lower right-hand corner of the dialog box.
The following dialog box appears specifying the
name of the file selected: |
|
Enter the new name and click OK. |
To cancel the rename, select the new name just
entered in the Rename dialog box, delete it and click
OK. The old name is restored. |
You can of course move all files to the upper list
at any time by clicking the Reset all files
button. |
-
Enter the path of the target directory in the Copy
to box, or browse your file tree using Browse... if
necessary and click OK.
This box is in fact a list and contains the nine
destinations last used. |
|
The target directory must be
different from the original directory. |
-
Click OK.
If you copy to an as yet non-existent directory,
the following message appears: |
|
If the target directory contains any files with the
same name as any copied, the Confirm File
Replacement dialog box is displayed. Click the appropriate
button: |
|
A progress box appears as each file is copied: |
|
When the copy has been performed the Files
Copied dialog box appears telling you the number, size and
type of the files copied. |
