Whether you are viewing attachments in your own RefWorks account or from a shared folder or database, you will need to have the appropriate software for that particular attachment on the computer you are accessing RefWorks from (e.g., if you want to view a PowerPoint presentation attachment, you will need PowerPoint on your computer).
When you are looking at a list of references (from any view), you will see a paper clip near the view and edit links for that reference. The paper clip indicates that attachments are stored in that particular reference.
1. To view the attachments, click on the View link.
2. You will see thumbnail images or icons for each attachment.
3. Click on the thumbnail to launch the attachment
4. You can save the attachment to your computer by right mouse-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Save Target As and selecting your location to save the file.
