OpenDoc technology supports a new type of software called a "part." You use parts to easily add new features to your applications. You add features by dragging parts into documents created by any OpenDoc-aware application. You can also create documents entirely out of OpenDoc parts.
Installing OpenDoc
To install the OpenDoc libraries and extensions that will enable you to use OpenDoc parts, double-click the OpenDoc Installer alias.
When the Easy Install dialog box appears, click Install.
Note: To install OpenDoc, you must be using system software version 7.1.1 or later for a 68K Macintosh, or system software version 7.1.2 for a Power Macintosh.
Installing over previous versions of OpenDoc
Before installing over an older version of OpenDoc, turn extensions off by holding down the Shift key as you restart the computer.
