What is Research-Desk?
|
|
Research-Desk is an innovative research and productivity environment
that contains the world's first professional web browser™ and
integrates Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into one
super-MDI/tabbed interface. Research-Desk allows you to perform all
the tasks in one application that contains a seamless super-set of the
features - word processing, spell checks, spreadsheets, web browsing,
etc. - that were previously provided piecemeal by the individual applications.
You can open and work with multiple types of documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
web browser, etc.) simultaneously without closing any of the previous ones.
The World's First Professional Web Browser™
- Browse multiple web pages simultaneously
- Save complete web pages for future reference

to fill out web forms

FTP downloads and scans downloaded files for viruses
(requires Norton, McAfee or other virus scanner)
- Integrated Microsoft Internet Explorer features:
Favorites, History, AutoComplete, AutoFill web forms,
Privacy and Security Features
A Comprehensive Research and Productivity Environment
