  • The first item in the Workpapers list of the Insert Workpaper Link screen is highlighted by default.
  • 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 following manner based on whether the Workpapers Dashboard is open or closed.
    • If the Workpapers Dashboard is open, the PDF will launch in the PDF Editor within Accounting CS.
    • If the Workpapers Dashboard is closed, the PDF will open in the default PDF application that is installed on your workstation. The PDF application determines whether or not the PDF is launched in edit mode.
    • If you have Adobe Pro installed, the PDF will open in that application with editing enabled.
