2542.0. "Can WORD Documents be archived?" by AIMTEC::GRENIER_J (Jean Grenier) Wed Feb 26 1997 18:06

    Customer would like to know if users can archive WORD documents?
    My initial response was "No", unless converted, these documents
    are known to ALL-IN-1 as FGN.  Customer would like an "official"
    documented answer.  Is this restriction documented anywhere?  Or,
    should it work?
    
    Thanks,
    Jean

    It doesn't matter what format the documents are in, since we write the
    header info (which would include the handling type) and the body as
    separate files.
    
    On the other hand, the replacement of the body file by the TXT file
    that says 'this doc is archived' might not work so well.
    
    Have they tried it?

    Hi,
    
    Archive works OK at my customer site.  They enforce archiving so lots of
    external files (word, excel, powerpoint, etc) get the nod.  When the user
    selects the archived file for read the standard message that Graham
    mentioned earlier is displayed.  The restore option (RAD) works fine.
    
    Regards,
