Quick View Plus 6.0 Explaining Quick View's Functionality D. E. Levine
Viewing
Quick View Plus lets you view files created by over 225 programs, regardless of whether you have the programs on your computer or not. Basically the program overcomes the viewing restrictions created by different platforms, formats and software versions. The program allows you to see and work work with fully-formatted views from platforms that include Windows, DOS, Macintosh and Internet formats. The formats include text, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, database, compressed files, HTML and UUE.
Copying and Pasting
In addition to viewing a file, the program allows you to copy a portion or the entire file and paste the copied portion or file into an application. You can create ne ZIP files or add viewed files to already existing ZIP archives (read by PKZIP, WinZip, and Zip Magic).
Compressions and AutoZip
I know that I always encounter problems with the size of outgoing or incoming email attachments. Quick View Plus automatically compresses attached files when sent or saved in Microsoft Exchnage, Outlook, and Lotus Notes clients The program also allows you to specify the minimum size of attachments to be automatically compressed.
Using Find to Search
Quick View Plus' toolbar has a Find command that utilizes a very fast and powerful search function in any viewed files containing the formats that the program includes. When text matches are found, they are automatically highlighted.
Zooming and Rotating
By zooming in and out on viewed files, you can enlarge or reduce the font in various formats supported by Quick View Plus. Where bitmap, drawing or presentation files are involved, you can enlarge or reduce the entire viewed file. Additionally, rotation of bitmap files can be done in 90 degree increments.
Transfering Information Between Systems
One extremely helpful function is the ability to transfer data between Windows (different versions), DOS, and Macintosh word processing and presentation programs.
Embedded Object Viewing
Embedded objects created through object linking and embedded (OLE) are easily and quickly viewed through Quick View Plus.
Starting Applications of Viewed Files
Regardless of whether a file has the correct extension, when you are looking at a file you can launch the application used to create that file by clickling the launch application toolbar button.
Browsing Previously Viewed Files
By using the left and right arrow buttons on the Quick View Plus toolbar, it's possible to browse forward and backward among the files you've previously viewed in the same Quick View Plus window.
File Navigation Panes
Because of the two-pane navigation facility built into the program, you can view the files you select in the same Quick View Plus window. Within each Quick View Plus session you can orient the file navigation panes in either a left-hand or top-attachment manner.
Using Navigation Plug-ins
For some file types, Quick View Plus is capable of using Netscape plug-ins for viewing purposes.
State-of-the-art Integration
There is seamless integration into Windows 95, Windows 98, NT4, Windows ME and Windows 2000. Additionally, Quick View Plus integrates with the latest browser and e-mail applications. The program is capable of hosting multimedia plug-ins. This ability allows viewing of file formats that the programs do no support, whether these files are on your computer or downloaded, copied from other sources, or downloaded.
Printing Flexibility
Quick View Plus provides the flexibility for viewing and printing all or part of multiple files. Additionally, you may print files without viewing them. During printing, the formatting of the original document is maintained. Printed output is fully formatted
