•    Microsoft Office documents - Microsoft Office embeds information with each office document such as Word and PowerPoint.
•    OpenOffice documents
•    PDF documents

To view these Automated Descriptions:

2. Select the desired shared file from the Shared folder.
3. Select the Describe tab to open the Description Editor dialog box.
4. Scroll through the auto-generated information that has been created.
