Integration with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook

Download a PDF guide to learn more about toolbar features.

During installation, Document Manager adds new toolbar and function buttons to Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel if these applications are already on the same system. The toolbar contains shortcuts to frequently used commands in Document Manager. Most are enabled only for documents that have been created in Document Manager. Some buttons will be specific to a particular Microsoft application.

Toolbar buttons and their functions

Button	Function
About	Displays information about the Document Manager version currently in use.
Audit Trail	Displays a history of all changes made to the open document, in descending date order. Displays an audit trail, including editing history, changes to the approval status, linking and follow-ups and then the About icon.
Check In	Lock the document and store it with relevant archiving information and version number. A checked in document must be checked out before it can be edited. Generally, you would only use this button if you wanted to check in a new document or a new version of a document. Usually, you would just save the document which would update the current version with the changes.
Link	Open the Link Documents window to view the links to other documents and to add links.
Properties	View and edit the document properties, using the Document Properties window.
Send via Email	Send the document as an attachment via email to a selected client. Only documents that are complete or approved are allowed to be sent to clients. This ensures that employees who are supposed to approve (AE) or complete (AO) documents do not send incomplete documents to clients.
Send Team Email	Sends a link to the document via email to internal staff only. The recipient will open the updated document from Document Manager.
Share It	Add the open Microsoft Word or Excel file to Document Manager.
Status	Displays the current status of the document. (AE) If the document does not require approval, a message showing the current status of the document displays; if the document requires approval, the Approvals window opens.

(AE)	Mark the document as In progress.
