Avantstar Inc. announces version 8 of the popular Quick View Plus software, a desktop utility that allows users to view virtually any file, such as word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, graphics, database or compressed, without requiring the corresponding application. For example, a Microsoft Office suite user can easily view files they receive that were created in the Corel WordPerfect Office suite without requiring the appropriate Corel application. This latest version, based on Stellent Outside In technology, broadens the instant access of information to include more than 225 Windows, Macintosh, Internet and DOS formats, while enabling access to information from virtually any source - email attachments, the Web, legacy documents, and more. By allowing users to view information without native applications, Quick View Plus helps businesses reduce software expenses.
