Research-Desk is an innovative research and productivity environment that
contains the world's first professional web browser, and hosts
commonly used business and productivity applications such as Microsoft
Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Research-Desk has all the features of
Microsoft Internet Explorer plus more than a dozen more.
Research-Desk includes an integrated File Transfer Manager,
and much more.
Research-Desk allows you to perform all these tasks - word processing,
spell checks, spreadsheets, web browsing, etc. - in one application, whereas
previously you had to open each individual application. You can open and work with
multiple types of documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, web browser, etc.)
simultaneously without closing any of the previous ones.

A combination Tabbed/Multiple Document Interface
|
Research-Desk's innovative yet intuitive user interface is based on a tabbed
document metaphor - with each tab representing a single open document. This enables
you to open and edit multiple documents simultaneously. The tabbed interface can
also function as a traditional (similar to that used by Microsoft Office)
Multiple Document Interface to allow side-by-side viewing of multiple documents.
|
Edit, View, and Manage Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint Documents
|
Research-Desk can open, edit and save Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint
documents when Office 97 or newer is installed. The full capabilities of
the individual Microsoft Office applications - including all menus and toolbars
and associated commands, Print and Print Preview, VBA, and the Visual Basic
Editor are available within Research-Desk.
Research-Desk's integration of individual Microsoft Office applications into one
application makes several new things possible. For example, you can save a web
page as a Microsoft Word document. You can use the Search Workspace
feature to search across all open documents - spreadsheets, web pages,
word documents, etc. - all at once.
|
Workspaces
|
The collection of open documents (web pages, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.) is
the workspace. You can not only open and save documents individually, but you can also
save the entire workspace as a self-contained file. You can create a workspace for each
thread of activity - for example, a workspace for each project, or a workspace for each
report. You can easily collaborate with others by emailing whole workspaces. This not
only eliminates the requirement of emailing each document separately, but also preserves
the organization of the workspace.
Workspaces not only allow you to maintain multiple threads of activity, but also make
switching between related groups of documents quicker and easier.
|
Save Complete Web Pages
|
Research-Desk's PageSnap™ technology enables you to save an accurate representation of a
web page (including frames, style sheets, images, java, links, etc) as single file.
The web page saving feature is significantly more advanced than that of Microsoft
Internet Explorer - it works significantly faster, saves framed web pages, even saves
secure server (HTTPS) web pages.
Save copies of web pages to archive web-based research, and even save online transaction
receipts.
You can even save web pages as PDF's.

Grammar and Spell Checking when filling out Web Forms (requires Microsoft Word)
|
Use the full editing capabilities (incl. grammar and spelling checks) of Microsoft
Word when entering text in web page text areas or forms. Research-Desk's ActiveX Adapter™
technology automatically substitutes web page text areas with an embedded Word Document.
You can not only use the full editing capabilities of Microsoft Word, but also save the
text as a Word document, or insert text from an existing Word document.
|
Intelligently Block Undesirable Popups
|
Research-Desk's PopSmart™ technology distinguishes between "desirable" and "undesirable"
browser popup windows. For example, if you click on an advertising banner on a web page,
Research-Desk will open it in a new window. But if the web page automatically pops open
an advertisement banner in a new window, Research-Desk will block the popup.
Unlike, other available popup blocking technologies, PopSmart does not use finicky and
high maintenance lists of URLs to identify undesirable popups. PopSmart intelligently
analyzes the Java and HTML content of the page and to determine whether you requested the popup.
