Create a new Project

You can create a project by pointing to a source code directory in disk, or importing files in the Workbench workspace, which is more used by software engineers ready to refactor code. Importing files in the workspace can be done from files on disk or files in a source code control system, like CVS or SVN

Create a Project by pointing to source code on disk

 File > New > Project -- <Wizard> General > Project


Prevent in-place OLE editors

Window > Preferences > General > Editors 

You can force OLE applications to open as stand-alone applications by unchecking the "Allow in-place system editors" option on the preference page.

Generating Reports

Prevent possible OLE Error when generating reports

By default, on Windows, OLE applications like Microsoft Word or Excel open as in-place editors. When generating a report, It is possible to get an OLE error when using the default settings because of the specifics of your system. Here are a couple of tips to avoid that error:

Prevent in-place OLE editors

Window > Preferences > General > Editors 

You can force OLE applications to open as stand-alone applications by unchecking the "Allow in-place system editors" option on the preference page.

Prevent opening by default the reports

Window > Preferences > Globalyzer

and uncheck the "Display Report after Export"

Change the file association

Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File associations 

and associate the editor with the offending extension
