# Executing the New Document Plug-in

You can run the new document plug-in as follows.
Procedure
1.
In Desk, click the [New Document] plug-in button in the toolbar or the task toolbar.
The [New Document] dialog box appears.
2.
A list of files in the folder specified in [Start-up Directory] appears. Select a file from the list.
The file name appears in [Document File Name]. The name that appears here is the name of the original data. Rename the file if necessary.
3.
Click [OK].
The application associated with the file runs and you can edit the file.
4.
Edit the file, then exit the application.
A new DocuWorks document is created from the edited file and the new document appears in the current folder. The original file is attached as original data.
Note

- Some applications may not be able to start running.
- Overwrite and save the edited file before exiting the application. If the file is not saved, the data is not converted to a DocuWorks document.
- When a DocuWorks document is created from the edited file, the [Print] dialog box may appear depending on the associated application. In this case, click [Print]. If you have selected [Cancel] in the [New DocuWorks document] dialog box, it will be ignored.
- When you execute the new document plug-in to edit a file, the original file is not modified.
- When you select a file not associated with the application, you cannot edit the file.
