Multiple Editors - how do you switch? [message #170885]

hello,

I have assigned two editors to the *.htm file type. One is WebBrowser and
the other is TextEditor. The TextEditor is the default, but can I switch
the editor type while looking at the file? Also how do I tell Eclipse
which editor to use when opening the file. The help has been very vague on
this ("look in the main menu", excuse me? What main menu? There is no menu
item labled "main") and I can't seem to find a funciton that does this.

Thanks.

Right click on the file>Open With
Pick the editor you wish to use.

And note that from now on this editor will be used to open just that
file until you use 'Open With' again i.e. Eclipse remembers per file
which editor to use to open it.
