Research-Desk Professional v2.2

Thanks Catherine for the email on this software, I have posted a few features, the rest can be viewed at the source site. 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, integrated document management utilities such as Zip, UnZip, and much more.

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.

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.

Full Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint Integration

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 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.

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.
