Clicking the button or the File > Load Project command brings up the "Select Project File" dialog box
Navigate to the correct .FPJ file, make sure the file name is displayed in the File Name: box and click Open.
Once a project is loaded, you can substitute or edit individual files using the Input > Project Inputs command to open the "FARSITE Project" dialog box. These changes can be temporary (only for the current simulation) or permanent by saving the edited files or project. However if the Project (.FPJ) File is saved with unsaved edited component files, those files will then be automatically saved also.
A generic text editing application such as Notepad or WordPad, a spreadsheet, or the FARSITE Editor can be used to create or edit ASCII text files. FARSITE also has Custom Editors for each ASCII text file type found in the "FARSITE Project" dialog box.

Custom file editors for the following ASCII text files are available in the "FARSITE Project" dialog box;
