WebReady Document Viewing
With Webmail remote users can now view attachments without having to save them to disk or open them via a locally installed application. WebReady Document Viewing allows remote users to view certain attachments as a web page. Exchange 2010 does this conversion, so the remote user doesn't need anything more than a web browser. Currently supported attachment types are:
- Word (.doc)
- Excel (.xls)
- PowerPoint (.ppt)
- PDF (.pdf)
Now organizations don't need to worry about their internal documents being left in caches on public computers, like airport kiosks. Remote users don't need to download the attachment and then launch an application to view the document. Now they just click on the "View as Web Page" link and the WebReady Viewing version will open.
