<p class="Paragraph">To open a file from the same folder of a currently opened file, which has only a slightly different name, you can quickly select this new file using the <span class="T1">URL</span> field in the Function bar.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Click on the <span class="T1">URL</span> field at the left of the Function bar. The content of the field will be selected, which indicates that you can enter a new name. However, you can also click within the name, directly where you want to make a change. Or you can use the arrow keys to move the cursor within the name and modify it as necessary.</p>
<ul class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2">Pressing the Enter key will replace the current document with the document named in the URL.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">Keeping the (Ctrl) key pressed while pressing the Enter key will additionally open the document named in the URL.</p>
