PowerPoint Add-in 6.1.x
PowerPoint Addin enables users to upload new files and edit existing OpenKM files.
When a user uploads new files, he browses across the OpenKM tree view to select where he wants to upload the file.
The OpenKM PowerPoint Add-in detects if the document opened by a user is an OpenKM file and enables or disables some toolbar options.
Office Add-ins are compatible from version 2000 to version 2019.
After installing the Outlook add-in, a new menu item "OpenKM" will appear in Outlook.
