Posted by admin on June 8, 2008 in forms, news, tocs
Today we have released two minor updates to our Office add-ins: PowerTOC v2.2.1 and FormsAssistant 1.7.1.
These are to be considered maintenance updates. They provide only three enhancements over previous versions.
Multi-monitor awareness

An amazing product - MaxiVista
Posted by admin on June 5, 2008 in powerpoint
Last week it was brought to my attention that my add-ins do not behave correctly on multi-monitor systems. So I had to quickly setup a multi-monitor test system. I tried MaxiVista which is an amazing software product that can magically convert the screen of any computer on your LAN as an additional monitor.

Favorite features of Control Runner (1)
Posted by admin on May 27, 2008 in launch
I have always been curious about what features of Control Runner our users are really using. I guess each user only uses a subset of the available features (I personally don’t use them all!) because some of them are not useful for his personal needs, but mostly because the user does not know what features [...]
The case of the missing add-in
Posted by admin on May 25, 2008 in forms, news, tocs
It has been our single most important problem with our line of Office productivity add-ins. And the reason why we haven’t been able to keep our development schedule on time.
The problem
Microsoft has been trying to improve the security of users of their Office software for years and has come with a number of schemes to [...]
