Installing the Office Integration with the Laserfiche Web Client

The first time you open a Microsoft Office document with the Laserfiche web client, you will be prompted to install the Laserfiche Office Integration. (You will not be prompted to install it if you have already installed it, either in the Laserfiche web client or as part of the Laserfiche Windows client installation.)

Once you have installed the Laserfiche Office Integration, it will automatically be available when you open a Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint document, or when viewing e-mails in Microsoft Outlook. See Using the Laserfiche Office Integration for details on working with Office and Laserfiche.

Installing the Office Integration with the Laserfiche Web Client

  1. In the Laserfiche web client, open any Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file.
  2. If the Laserfiche Office Integration has not yet been installed, the Install Office Plugin dialog box will open.
  3. Click Click Here to Download to begin the download.

    4. Note: If you instead click Click here to export the document without using the Office plugin, the document will open without installing Office Integration. It will behave like any other electronic document.

  4. You may be prompted to save or run the file.  If you run the file, the Laserfiche Office Integration Setup will run automatically when the download is complete.  If you choose to save it instead, you will need to launch the installation manually.
  5. When the installation is complete, the Microsoft Office application will automatically load and display the file you selected.

Note: If you never want to be prompted to install the Office plugin, you can select Export and download file in the Settings dialog box, under Options, in the Document Viewer section
