Apple Macintosh System 7.5 - Manual (Page 50)

Easy file opening
With Macintosh Easy Open, you can open most Macintosh, DOS, or
Windows files even if you don’t have the program that created the document.
Your computer uses “translators” and your programs to open documents
created in programs you do not have. For example, your computer uses a
translator and your word processor to open a document created in a word-
processing program that you do not have.
To set Easy Open options, open the Apple (K) menu and choose Control
Panels. Then open the Macintosh Easy Open Setup control panel.
For step-by-step help
Choose Macintosh Guide from the Guide menu (marked with the
h
icon) and click the Topics
button. Select the “Working with Programs” topic and see “How do I open an unknown item?” For
more information on control panel items, choose Show Balloons from the Guide menu.
