Learn How Workshare Professional 5 Is Empowering Microsoft® Office Users
This latest version of Workshare is not only 100% compatible with Microsoft Office applications, but it actually integrates into the Office Ribbon and task panes. When working in Microsoft Office applications Professional enables you to review all changes made in your original document, manage changes across multiple reviewers, and audit who has made edits to your original documents.
You can also convert any of these documents to a PDF on the fly with Professional's embedded PDF converter. In addition, Professional uses Workshare's award-winning Protect functionality to scour your documents for any information you don't want leaving your PC.
Instantly convert to PDF when you hit the Send email button as added protection. Professional knows who has made edits to your documents and displays the edits in the easy-to-follow 3-pane format. It also creates an adjoining Text file that you can print, email and share with others in the collaboration process - even if they are not using Professional.
And Professional also knows who is on your safe recipient list and allows you to control the types of data and content you can send inside and outside of your organization.
One of the most useful new features found in version 5 is a tabbed view within documents (similar to the tabs in Web browsers) that allows users to compare multiple document versions inside the tabbed view, making it easy to accept or reject changes across all document versions in one place.
Also, back in 2007, Workshare Professional received the prestigious "Microsoft Gold Certified Partner" award for its ability to both meet customer needs and keep up with today's business and technology demands.

What Users Are Saying...
"A Lawyer introduced me to Workshare Professional. Select an original document, a modified document, and punch the OK button. Deleted text appears in red, added text in blue, and repositioned words in green. Easy use in broad variety of applications has sold me on three repeat license renewals. Our household finds differences in multiple versions of a document, collaborates on the writing of holiday letters, and gathers comments from multiple reviewers of school essays. At work, it effortlessly compares lengthy policy documents of affiliate organizations with the model distributed by our parent. Dozens come to me with a plea to "work your comparison magic." Not a lawyer, I am a pastor. Workshare Professional can provide similar blessings for you." - Rick (Arlington, VA USA)

"When I used Workshare (formerly Deltaview) program within a IT contracts/proposal environment. I had to use Microsoft Word's very limited compare program to compare changes to contracts and proposals. The program is fast, clear and flexible and accelerates the document review process. Workshare integrates with outlook and other office products to clean up document before you send them. The PDF-to-Word , Word-to-PDF tools are another great feature." - Mr. Trevor Little "Trevor" (UK)

"Workshare Professional makes the redlining process and the management of documents a breeze. I have used DeltaView for years and upgraded to Workshare Professional a few months ago and am surprised at the improvements made. I'm sure I've not begun to appreciate the security features included either. The one glitch is that I have to turn some of these security options off in order to email some documents to outside recipients, but I expect I'm still better off than not having any of the features." - Maria Bernstein (San Francisco, CA)
--------
"Recent versions of Word do a poor job of revision tracking. Even if you're only working with a single author and a single editor, Word muddles this up.
Workshare not only does excellent comparisons, it lets you track multiple authors' changes easily and distinguish them with no trouble. You can keep as many document comparisons as you need, and reconstruct the various document states.
I haven't use the Protect component much, but it seems unobtrusive and serviceable.
Get this for the Deltaview document comparison alone. You won't be sorry." - Jessica Weissman "poet and computer programmer" (Silver Spring, MD USA)
--------
"I have used this product for document comparison for years. It provides a very efficient report of changes from one word document to another. And it is 200% easier to use as compared to tracking changes in Word. It is a must-have resource if document comparison is part of your job." - S. Moglia
