Perceptive Software, creator of ImageNow enterprise document management, imaging and workflow software, announced the release of ImageNow Interact for Microsoft Office. The ImageNow Interact product suite was developed to tightly integrate ImageNow document management functionality with other desktop applications. ImageNow Interact for Microsoft Office extends ImageNow functionality to Microsoft Office applications through a native plug-in that provides instant access to documents that are managed in the ImageNow system.

ImageNow Interact for Microsoft Office offers a comprehensive set of ImageNow functions, including powerful document control capabilities that enable users to check-in and check-out documents, revert to previous versions and promote new documents as needed. Advanced search options that include full text search and index-based search also enhance the user experience. The embedded Interact Toolbar can be customized directly within the Microsoft Office environment, delivering easy-to-use features that enable users at any skill level to improve their business processes and accelerate productivity by eliminating time-consuming navigation and traditional searching methods. ImageNow Interact ensures users access the most current and accurate version of a document by avoiding the need to navigate multiple applications, networks or locally-stored files and folders.

A government watchdog group now says at least ten million White House emails, which may contain information about the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson’s covert CIA status, have been destroyed by the Bush administration.

The report, titled "Without a Trace: The Missing White House Emails and the Violations of the Presidential Records Act," accused the Bush administration of destroying "more than 5 million" emails and failing to attempt to recover them. According to CREW, their sources now tell them the number of missing emails is at least ten million.
