Specifying the default document editor

Configure Document Manager to use a specific editor when editing documents.

We can configure Document Manager to use an editing application other than the default rich text editor as the preferred document editor.

1. Open the Java_directory/jre/lib/content-type.properties file in a text editor.

2. Add the editing application information using the following format:

   application/vnd.application name: \
         description=editing application full name;\
         file_extensions=.fileextension 

   For example, an entry for Lotus WordPro would look like the following:

   application/vnd.lotus-wordpro: \
         description= Lotus  WordPro; \
         file_extensions=.lwp 

3. Save the changes.
