Using ConcApp with Open Files 

There are two ways to run the concordancer - using files which have first been opened, or by using text files which have been placed in the same directory. Both ways allow both single and multiple file searches.

In the above illustration the windows have been tiled for easy viewing. Right click the mouse on any line in the concordance window to see the word in context in the text file which is displayed in the top window.
