Hi,

wfy is great for task or product break down. However a fair bit of my work is the production of Word or Excel files on a PC. As I understand it, wfy cannot link to those files so that if I follow the link then Word opens & I can work on the file.

Am I right?

If so how are others getting around this? At present I find it is sufficient to keep a list of pointers in OneNote, which then open the application.

Thanks

andrew

  Hi Andrew,

  Many users link to external documents in WorkFlowy by referencing the cloud version of a document in, say, Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, etc.

  I create a link to a file in Windows Explorer by holding Shift, right-click and then 'Copy as Path'. Then I paste this link into Workflowy.

  Using the following PhraseExpress shortcut:

  {#CTRL -chars a}{#CTRL -chars c}{#LWIN -chars r}{#CTRL -chars v}{#ENTER}

  and setting Ctrl Alt F to trigger the shortcut, means that if I click in the link in Workflowy, click Ctrl Alt F, the file then opens.

  HTH
