You can manage your documents directly from within a Microsoft Office application, such as Microsoft Word or Excel, when you integrate the applications with Workplace XT. Integrating your Office applications means you can use special commands and menu options to quickly complete document management tasks, such as adding documents and emails to an object store, checking documents in and out of an object store, and saving copies of your work from inside an application.
You can use the Application Integration add-on to integrate Microsoft Office applications with Workplace XT. Application Integration is downloaded automatically with IBM FileNet P8. You can also use the IBM FileNet Integration for Microsoft Office add-on, which is downloaded and installed separately from IBM FileNet P8, to integrate your Office documents. For more information, see the Working with documents with FileNet Integration for Microsoft Office documentation.
To find more information on which Microsoft Office versions are supported by add-ons, see the IBM FileNet P8 Hardware and Software Requirements.
