Edit Linked Documents
To develop the contents of a Linked Document, you use either the Document Window or the Linked Document Editor. These provide a frame for working on the document, using a wide range of convenient features from the Document - Edit ribbon. The features help you in formatting and editing the document, and adding links from and references to the content of the document.
In the Linked Document Editor some editor features are duplicated in a right-click context menu for convenience.
The Document Window has additional facilities, as described in the Linked Documents in the Document Window Help topic.
