Every item in the repository has an associated object type. The object type defines what kind of item an item is, and determines properties, and actions available for the item. By default, an object type is associated with a file format for editing, and a file format for viewing.
To change the format associated with a type of file:
Select Tools > Preferences.
Select the Formats tab.
The Formats tab lists types for which the associated applications have been changed from the default associations.
Do one of these:
To associate an application for a type that is not listed, click Add.
To associate an application for a type that is listed, select the type, and click Edit.
