File types are defined in site preferences. The site preferences determine the type of files displayed in Workplace XT after you open or insert a document from Outlook. They also guarantee specific file types are recognized and displayed correctly in Workplace XT after you add a document from an integrated application.
Some file types, such as EXE and WAV files, might not open correctly in an Office application. To view these files correctly, select the Open as Copy option, save the file locally, and then open the file in its native application. In addition, folder properties, such as Folder Name and Security, can be edited when opening a document but it cannot be edited when adding a document.
