Preface
Welcome to Quick View Plus
Quick View Plus gives you easy access to files created in over 225 programs, regardless of whether you have those programs on your computer. With Quick View Plus you can work effortlessly with files or parts of files created in the format of text, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and graphics. Here are some of the key features you will find in Quick View Plus.
View Virtually Any File
Quick View Plus allows you to overcome the viewing restrictions created by different platforms, formats, and software versions. You are instantly enabled to see and work with fully-formatted views of more than 225 Windows, DOS, Macintosh, and Internet formats including text, spreadsheet, graphic, database, presentation, and compressed files including PKZIP, as well as HTML and UUE.
Print Files
Quick View Plus provides you with the fastest way to view and print all or part of one or multiple files, or you may quickly print files without even viewing them.
Copy and Paste Viewed Files
After viewing a file, you can copy all or a portion of any file, or select text for copying, then paste the selection into an application.
Quick Compress
With files in your file system, Quick View Plus allows you to create new ZIP files of that file, or add a viewed file to existing ZIP archive files that can be read by other ZIP-related products (PKZIP, WinZip, and Zip Magic, just to name a few). This feature of Quick View Plus is available from the context menu in Windows Explorer, the Quick View Plus file navigation pane, or any application that supports the Explorer context menu. You can also delete individual files from existing ZIP archive files.
AutoZip E-mail Attachments
When you attach files to e-mail messages, Quick View Plus will automatically compress attached files when sent or saved in Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, and Lotus Notes clients. Before e-mail attachments are compressed, you can specify the minimum size of attachments to be automatically compressed.
Search for Text
By simply using the Find command on the Quick View Plus toolbar, you can utilize a fast, powerful text search function in any viewed file containing text, including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and Internet file formats. All text search matches are highlighted.
Zoom and Rotate
You can zoom in or out on viewed files which will enlarge or reduce the font (for word processing, spreadsheet, database, or archive files), or enlarge or reduce the entire viewed file (for bitmap, drawing, and presentation files). You may also rotate bitmap files in 90° increments.
System-to-System Information Sharing
With Quick View Plus, you can transfer data between Windows, Macintosh, and DOS word processing and presentation programs.
View Embedded Objects
Embedded objects created through object linking and embedded (OLE) can be quickly and easily viewed in Quick View Plus
Start a Viewed File’s Application
With a simple click of the launch application toolbar button, you can launch the application used to create the file you are viewing, with the file open and ready for editing in the application, even if that file does not have the correct file extension for it’s type.
File Navigation Panes
The Quick View Plus viewing environment provides you with two-pane navigation, allowing you to quickly navigate through your file system and use the same Quick View Plus window to view any files you choose. The file navigation panes can be oriented in either a left-hand or top-attachment manner within a Quick View Plus session.
Browse Previously-Viewed Files
With the left and right arrow buttons on the Quick View Plus toolbar, you can quickly browse forward and back the files you have previously viewed in the same Quick View Plus view window.
Netscape Plug-ins
Quick View Plus can use Netscape plug-ins to view certain file types within the Quick View Plus view window.
