Editing Microsoft Office and PDF Documents Internally

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Microsoft Office and PDF documents are not displayed or editable within Ultra Recall by default and are edited externally using Open Document.  If Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Foxit Reader are installed, you have the option of using these applications within Ultra Recall to view and/or edit the respective file types, using the following steps:

1.Add the document extension (i.e., .doc;.xls;.ppt;.pdf) to the File extensions to display in internal browser view: file extension list in Browser Options. For Office 2007+ XML document formats (i.e., .docx;.xlsx;.pptx), enter .zip in this file extension list (and to prevent regular .zip files from being displayed in the internal browser, add .zip to the File extensions to edit/view externally option in Document Options).
2.If the document needs to be editable, ensure the extension is also added to the File extensions to open stored documents writable: file extension list in Document Options.

 

RTF documents and Text (and derived Info Item) editing
If Microsoft Word is installed, you can also use Word within Ultra Recall instead of the default Rich Text Editor to gain access to additional rich text formatting features.  Simply add .rtf to the File extensions to display in internal browser view: file extension list in Browser Options.

 

Note: If Office or RTF documents still open externally when selected in UR, you may also need to configure Windows/Office to open documents in the same window.
