If you no longer want a document to be associated with a contact in your database, then simply remove the document from the list in the Documents tab. Removing the document from the Documents tab will also delete the document from the Attachments folder your database supplemental files folder, so make sure you have a backup if the document is important.

To remove a document from the Documents tab:

1. Click the Documents tab in the Contact view.
2. Highlight the document you'd like to remove from the list.
3. Click the Remove Document icon in the toolbar at the top of the Documents tab.
4. ACT! will ask you to confirm the removal. Click Yes. The document will be removed from the Documents tab and ACT! will delete the document in the Database Supplemental File System.

You can quickly open any document that has been attached to an ACT! contact in the Documents tab. Documents will open in the program associated with their extension on your computer (.DOC files will open in Microsoft Word, .XLS spreadsheets will open in Microsoft Excel, and so on).

To view an attached document in the Documents tab:

1. In the Documents tab, locate the document you'd like to view.
2. Highlight the document.
3. Click the View Document button at the top of the Documents tab. ACT! will launch the document for editing.
