Microsoft Office or PDF documents by default are not displayed or editable within Ultra Recall, but are edited externally using Open Document.  If you have Word, Excel, Powerpoint or Adobe Acrobat Reader 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) Ensure the document extension (i.e., .doc;.xls;.ppt;.pdf) is in 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 document extension is also in the File extensions to open stored documents writable: file extension list in Document Options.

 

RTF documents and Text (and derived Info Item) editing

RTF document Info Items and Info Items based on the Text or derived templates contain rich text which are displayed (and edited) by default in the Item Details Pane Rich Text Editor.  While this internal Rich Text Editor provides extensive rich text formatting capabilities, accessible via the menu, keyboard shortcuts and/or the Format Toolbar, it does not implement some advanced rich text features such as tables, specialized indenting, etc.
 
If you have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, you can also use Word within Ultra Recall instead of the default Rich Text Editor to gain access to these additional rich text features.  Simply ensure .rtf is in the File extensions to display in internal browser view: file extension list in Browser Options.
