Currently Ultra Recall doesn't have an auto-synchronize feature to automatically create new Info Items for files as they are added to a local folder. We have this type of functionality on our feature request list, our initial idea is to provide a simpler way to identify which files have been added/deleted locally so they can more easily be manually synchronized with an Ultra Recall Info Database.

If you have a Folder Info Item for the folder in question in Ultra Recall (with a valid folder path assigned to a Url Attribute), and you have added *folder to the list of extensions to show in the Internal Browser View (Tools | Options | Browser | File Extensions to display in internal browser view), the folder contents will be displayed in the Item Details Pane, facilitating adding new folder contents (files) to the Data Explorer Pane.

Another option is to simply store your Word documents within the Ultra Recall Info Database (they are stored compressed). You can even create an stored empty Word doc template so you can create new Word documents directly within an Ultra Recall Database.
Steps to create a stored Word Doc template:
1) Open Microsoft Word, then save the empty default document (typically Doc1.doc) somewhere on your hard drive.
2) From Windows Explorer, Cut this new document, then paste it into the templates folder of the Info Database (in Ultra Recall).
3) Rename the new template's Template Name Attribute to whatever you like
4) Rename the Item Title attribute to a suitable default name for new Items (based on this template)
5) Delete the contents of the Url attribute (so it isn't assumed to be linked to a document stored externally)
Note: You can copy (instead of link) your existing items into Ultra Recall then begin adding new Word Documents directly into Ultra Recall with this new template.
