This topic explains how you can install Fotoware plugins on your local computer to use plugins for Microsoft Office (Word and PowerPoint) and Adobe InDesign. The package also includes an upload utility that can be accessed in the Windows system tray. With this feature, you can check out any type of file from the Fotoware system, edit it locally in an application that supports the file type, and then upload changes back to the server and check the file in.
Note: Installing software on your computer requires administrative privileges. Contact your system administrator if necessary.
