Does the RICAR system support a direct interface to Microsoft Office?
A. Yes, RICAR supports a direct interface with Microsoft Office applications. With the ability to interface seamlessly with Microsoft Office, you can save updated versions of any Microsoft Office documents back into RICAR’s FreeView virtual filing cabinet without the hassle of re-indexing. FreeView has had the ability to open up any file format by launching the application associated with the particular file format being launched (i.e., MP3 file launches with iTunes). FreeView will launch Microsoft’s associated external application, thereby accessing documents via Microsoft Word, spreadsheets via Microsoft Excel, emails via Microsoft Outlook, etc; however, now from within the Microsoft Office application, you can automatically save multiple versions of the same file within FreeView and eliminate the redundancy of manual indexing.
