Using Microsoft Word to Edit Web Page Text Areas
Research-Desk Professional enables you to use the full editing capabilities of Microsoft Word - including grammar and spell checking - when entering text in web page text areas. You can save the text after entering it, and even insert a Word document into the text area.

Select Research-Desk Tools > Preferences > Browser General and check the Use Microsoft Word to Edit Text Areas box to activate this feature.

When activated, Research-Desk inserts three extra buttons immediately above text areas on web pages:
  • Click on the left-most button to toggle Microsoft Word editing
  • Click on the middle button (the down arrow) to expand the text area to the full height of the browser window
  • Click on the right-most button (the right arrow) to expand the text area to the full width of the browser window

While using Microsoft Word to edit, click on the Open or Save buttons in the Microsoft Word toolbar to load or save contents of the text area.
