The Collaboration Office Tools Add-In lets you choose from several check-in options and type check-in comments. There are two different versions of the Add-In, depending on whether you are using Office 2003 or Office 2007. The Office 2007 version of the Add-In provides additional features such as the ability to view and edit custom properties and apply Pathways tags to documents.
Note: Collaboration Office Tools Add-In must be installed on your machine if you want to be able to use it. WebEdit, however, still functions correctly without the installation of the Add-In. Administrators can either push out the Add-In installer to you or have you download it. Administrators should see Administrator Guide for Oracle WebCenter Collaboration for more information.

Collaboration Office Tools Add-In for Office 2007
The Collaboration Office Tools Add-In appears as a new tab called Collaboration in the ribbon of any Office 2007 application. Once the Collaboration Office Tools Add-In has been installed on a client, the tab will always be present when an Office application is launched, allowing you to easily check a document directly into Collab through the use of web folders.
For step-by-step instructions on how to use the Collaboration Office Tools Add-In for Office 2007 clients, see Using the Collaboration Office Tools Add-In (2007).
Note: Only one version of the Collaboration Office Tools Add-In should be installed on a machine. If you have previously installed an old version of the Add-In and want to use the version for Office 2007, uninstall the old version using Add/Remove Programs before installing the Office 2007 version.
