Never misplace a file again! Fully compatible with all versions of Word for Windows: WinWord 2.x and WinWord 6.x (the latest version). DocuPower Pro smashes the eight character DOS file name barrier! Give long, descriptive names to your documents - up to 60 characters long. DocuPower Pro makes it easy to quickly access your work. On stand-alone PC's as well as across networks, it can completely organize your documents. Best of all, it integrates seamlessly into Word for Windows. It's easy to use because it has the same look and feel as WinWord. Upon installation it adds itself directly to your WinWord menus, so it's always on hand. (In fact, in WinWord 6.x DocuPower Pro has its OWN separate DocuPower menu containing five of the most essential DocuPower Pro commands.) Powerful Features ################# * Go beyond the eight character DOS file name barrier. With DocuPower Pro you can give your documents real, meaningful descriptions - up to 60 characters long! * Point and click to instantly open any document, anywhere on your PC or network. * It's easy to be organized. Create an unlimited number of folders for your documents, and give each folder its own descriptive title. * Get up and running with DocuPower Pro FAST. Add large batches of documents to folders at the same time. * Each folder holds an *unlimited* number of document descriptions. Add as many as you like, because they'll be displayed in alphabetical order. Simply touch the keyboard to jump immediately to any part of the list. * Toggle folder list displays instantly between DocuPower Pro document descriptions and DOS file names. * One file can appear in multiple folders simultaneously. This enables you to organize the same material in different ways while avoiding version control problems. * Because it's tightly integrated into Winword, DocuPower Pro will automatically prompt you every time you save a new file. So you're never more than one keystroke or mouse click away from adding your new work directly to a folder. * Sophisticated folder management allows you to create, rename, or delete entire folders. Plus you can easily move documents from one folder to another. * Print single or multiple copies of a document directly from any folder - you don't even need to open the file first. * Print all documents in a folder with just one command. * Fax documents directly from a folder. * Insert the contents of one document into another. Clicking the "Insert" button lets you perform automated document assembly. * Integrated File Find and Text Search utilities find the files you need fast. Search on DOS wildcards (e.g. *.doc). Search for text fragments (e.g. all files containing the phrase "Balance Due"). And once you find the files you need, add them directly to DocuPower Pro folders. * Integrated file management functions enable you to make directories, copy, rename, delete or move files. The file management window is easy and intuitive to use - a dual list box with file names on the left, and your descriptions on the right. Do it all without ever leaving Winword or DocuPower Pro. * Print a detailed folder status report. List document descriptions and file names for all documents in any folder. * Free DocuPower Pro Tool Kit includes powerful utilities: Close All Open Files; Exit Windows; Restart Windows; Run Program (Command Line); Windows System Status. DANGER! Beware of Conventional Document Management Systems ################################################## All document management systems are not alike. DocuPower Pro is unique, because we do it all, and do it safely. To appreciate our revolutionary design, it's important to understand the dangers of conventional document management systems. Those programs also allow you to assign descriptive names to your files. However, to keep track of what description goes with which file, they take control of your computer. First, they create their own DOS directories for your documents (for example C:\MEZ001A2). Next, they rename each file at the DOS level with their own proprietary file names, like L000310.DOC. Finally, the new directory structure and proprietary file names are indexed and tracked by their database engine. And that's the problem with conventional systems - they take too much control away from you. As long as your descriptive names are viewed from inside their program, everything is fine. But if you want to find a file on your own, you're out of luck. Just try figuring out what C:\MEZ001A2\L000310.DOC means! This can be a real problem. If you need to copy directories or files to a diskette, you'll be stuck. The names that the document management program assigns are totally meaningless to you. So using any file management program becomes impractical. Backing up your data also becomes either difficult or impossible. How can you back up your documents when you don't know where they are or what they're named? We believe that the benefits offered by these programs are outweighed by the problems that they create. It’s just never worth it to give up complete control of your system. DocuPower Pro's Revolutionary Design #################################### Unlike ordinary document management systems, DocuPower Pro enhances rather than replaces your existing directory structure and file names. You'll always have it both ways. Assign long, descriptive names to your documents. Retain your original directory structure and file names. DocuPower Pro puts you in complete control. DocuPower Pro gives you the power you need to be in charge of your documents. Try it yourself and see what it's like to always have your files at your fingertips. PC's, Networks, and Workgroups ############################## DocuPower Pro is designed for use on stand-alone PC's as well as networks. When installed to a network, it can be set up in either individual or workgroup configurations. Three basic configurations are available: 1. Stand-alone - for regular PC's which are not connected to a network. 2. Network - for PC's which are part of a network. DocuPower Pro folders can contain documents from your local drive, as well as files from network drives. Access to network drives is transparent to the user. Each user maintains separate folder configurations. 3. Workgroup - for PC's which are part of a network. As above, users can access documents from local and network drives. The workgroup version, however, also allows users in the same group to access the same set of DocuPower Pro folders. By sharing folders and documents, all members of the group can benefit from consistent document organization. The free trial version comes pre-configured for stand-alone and network PC's. Workgroup licenses for any number of users can be purchased by calling us at 800-814-2300 or 718-375-2997. Upon payment, you’ll be shipped an installation kit configured for the number of users in your workgroup. Please note - volume discount prices are available for site licenses.
