Instead, they were opened in the Office program itself. The problem didn't occur with earlier Office versions. - FIX: Under Windows Vista, links to saved Web Research documents (by using their Web Research address) didn't work because the Internet Explorer of Windows Vista blocked the document access for security reasons. - FIX: Links to Web Research documents were always opened in Internet Explorer and not in the default browser. - Detail improvements and optimizations Version 2.7.3525 - July 2, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - NEW: Improved scanner interface * Multiple pages can now be scanned into a single Web Research document. * It's now possible to sharpen a scanned image after resizing. * All scanned documents now have the same scale (smaller, cropped scans often appeared much more enlarged in relation to other documents). * The scanner interface now also supports scanners that don't have a WIA capable driver. If a scanner is recognized that doesn't support WIA, Web Research now automatically uses the older TWAIN standard to communicate with the scanner. Note: WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) is the latest Windows scanner interface standard since 2001. Unfortunately, even some newer scanners don't fully support WIA yet (for example, most Canon scanners) and only implement the older and slower TWAIN standard. * The scanner interface can now be used under Windows 2000. * The preview for the scanned image can be scrolled by using the mouse wheel. - FIX: In the Reading Pane, after clicking a link with the right mouse button and then clicking "Open in New Window" on the shortcut menu, a browser window appeared that displayed an Internet search page instead of the real linked page. - Detail improvements and optimizations Version 2.7.3520 - June 20, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - NEW: Web Research Scanner Interface * On the "File" menu, click "Import from Scanner" to start. * Allows 5 evaluation scans; afterward, obtaining a license is necessary for further use. * Tip: If used frequently, the command can be added to the toolbar for quicker access (for example, using "Tools" - "Customize"). - NEW: When saving a screen clipping, the captured image can now be resized. - NEW: The Web Research Firefox extension now automatically uses the saving engine from ScrapBook if ScrapBook is installed. Thus, Web pages that require login, cookies, session states, etc. can now be saved correctly also when using Firefox. - FIX: In Internet Explorer 7, when saving using the shortcut menu commands and a different browser tab than the first one was active, no saving progress was displayed. - FIX: After starting Web Research, the error message "Invalid Tools Collection Index" could appear if the Web Research UI settings file had become corrupted. - Detail improvements and optimizations Version 2.7.3515 - May 30, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - NEW: Web Research now integrates with the Send To submenu of file and folder shortcut menus (requires restart of the Web Research application). Thus, importing files into Web Research is now even easier and faster. - FIX: When using Multiple Saving, some Web pages might have been saved incompletely if contents of the pages were already present in the Internet Explorer cache. - FIX: When exporting Web pages whose pictures had an invalid file name, export was canceled and an error message appeared (for example, when exporting a Web page with a picture named con.gif, which is an invalid file name in Windows). - FIX: When creating a Web Page Presentation, under rare circumstances, the file name extension .htm was missing for exported pages. As a result, the pages could not be opened in Internet Explorer. - FIX: When using Foxit PDF Reader, PDF documents could not be saved in Internet Explorer, and the error message "No browser window found" appeared. - FIX: When importing Favorites, the items were always imported into the default collection by default and not into the current collection. - FIX: When trying to send a saved PDF document to Microsoft Word, the Web Research application quit unexpectedly with a runtime error. - Detail improvements and optimizations Version 2.7.3513 - May 9, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------- - FIX: In rare cases, Web pages were exported incorrectly when exporting as album or Single File Web Pages (.mht format). - FIX: Importing Favorites sometimes didn't work. - FIX: Favorites could not be imported from within Windows Explorer. - FIX: Under Internet Explorer 6, some hyperlinks in documents were altered while saving (the ':@' characters were inserted).
