[softwarelist] Re: Importing Impression files into OP

It's a very long time since I've tried this ...
I have OP 2.77 (17 February 2008) running under VRPC-AdjustSA on a WinXP machine. The !Impulse applet is installed and activated in !OVNPRO.Applets
So, what is the procedure? Open a new OP document, then drag and drop an Impression file into the window? If so, it's not working for me ... all I get is an error message that reads, "Inserted file is of type ImpDoc not Text. Are you sure you want to proceed?" Proceeding generates several lines of spurious characters in the document window. 

(Dropping an Impression file onto OP on the icon bar does nothing)

What am I doing wrong?
The !TransIMP filter needs to have been "seen", find it and double click it to make sure. Then (ISTR) it is just a matter of dropping the Impression document on the icon bar icon (or on Windows using the File->Open menu).
Which reminds me there is a tweek to OP Windows that lets you drop an Impression folder document into an Ovation Window to open it - there being no easy way of selecting a folder to open.
