External Editing

When an asset associated with a task is part of a project that does not use linkage, it can be edited externally, using the Launcher. The Launcher enables WorldServer users to edit WorldServer assets in external applications on their machine, such as Arbortext Editor, Adobe FrameMaker, JustSystems XMetaL, Microsoft Word, and Altova XMLSpy. For more information about using the Launcher, refer to the WorldServer online help system.

If you haven't set up linkage between the source folder and a target folder, any project that includes assets in that folder also does not use linkage. When a project does not use linkage, it is generally because the project is set up as a means of tracking source file authoring and editing, as opposed to translation.
