If you want to work on a project based upon reading material collected in the WintextCom Library, creating an associated folder and documents in the workspace, as described in the foregoing sections, provides a useful technique for keeping the working environment and the base information in the library separate but directly linked to each other. This ensures that library files are not intermingled with other documents, so that it is possible to browse the library without encountering document types not intended for the WintextCom Reader.

It is not necessary to use the workspace, however, you can access alternative documents within the library itself. If you create a folder in the library to store information associated with a project, there are several ways to use the same folder for other types of document --

By pressing Control+Shift+Space in any of the information files opened in the WintextCom Reader, the document's folder is opened in Windows Explorer. The current reader document is selected, but all other documents in the folder become accessible.
You can set Library Manager to display all files in a library listing, not just text files. This provides access to all documents associated with a project, and you can open them in their associated Windows program by pressing Control+Shift+Backspace on the selected document. Pressing ENTER or left clicking on the selection opens it in the WintextCom Reader and closes Library Manager, or pressing Shift+ENTER opens a document in Library Manager without closing Library Manager.
You can browse any folder on your computer, not just a library folder, with File Manager, and open a document in the WintextCom Reader by pressing WindowsKey+ENTER. This option is the most versatile because you can set File Manager up in different ways to enable access to documents in different programs with preferred keystrokes.
It is possible to set up the library so that pressing ENTER or left clicking a document will open it in either the WintextCom Reader or another program, depending upon its type. This is an advanced feature which is achieved by writing a script, such as in Visual Basic, and specifying it as the document reader.

Regardless of how you are working, whenever a document is open in the WintextCom Reader, even if it is not a library document, it can be associated with a workspace document. Workspace integration can therefore be combined with project management using files in the same folder as the reader document.
