Jerry,
I appreciate your reply, but that's not what I'm looking for. I should
have been clearer. Your suggestion saves the imported foreign document
to disk as the native format. I'd rather not save anything to disk
because the user may just want to open and view the foreign document, he
may not want to save it at all. But if I do save it, I'd like the save
panel (and document title bar) to show "original_filename (Converted)".
Basically, I'd like opening foreign documents to be like creating new
blank documents but with a UI distinction.
Cheers,
--
