Autodesk Vault Office

 
 
 

Autodesk Vault Office is an add-in for Microsoft Office that manages all of your office data, including word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can organize all of your files and keep them in one location for easy access. All file versions are retained, so you never misplace or replace past versions. The vault stores each version of a file, along with any file dependencies, giving you a living history of the project as you work on it. The vault also stores file properties, such as the user name, date, and comments, for rapid searching and retrieving.

When Autodesk Vault Office is installed, a new ribbon tab and menu items are added to the Office 2007 and Office 2010 applications, and new menu items and a custom Word template are added to Office 2003.
