You can open reviews in four formats:
'.rm5' is the standard file format used by RevMan 5 for saving reviews.
'.rm4' is the file format used by RevMan 4 for exporting one or more reviews.
Note: Only the Windows version of RevMan 5 can open .rm4 files, and only if the proper ODBC driver is installed on your system. If you try to open a rm4 file, and do not have this driver, an error message will inform you how to obtain the driver.
If you open an .rm4 file that contains multiple reviews, RevMan 5 will only open one of the reviews. If you wish to open the other reviews in such a file, you must import the file to RevMan 4 and export the reviews as single files.
'.r4x' is a file format that was used by RevMan 4.3 and Archie for exchanging single reviews .
'.xml' is a generic file format used by many different applications. Archie and RevMan 4.3 once used '.xml' for review files, but this was changed to '.r4x'. RevMan can only open '.xml' files that were created by Archie or RevMan 4.3.
