Record Office usage

[Alfredomulet]

Hello everyone and Happy 2005,

Is it possible to record the usage of Excel, Powerpoint, Word, etc..., that is, for monitoring their use to be able to know when the applications are launched.

Thanks and regards,
alfredo

Turning on the journal in Outlook can help track documents on the machine that opens them.

If you use File, Properties, some of this information is present. There is further information if you right-click on the file in Windows Explorer and select Properies. If you are using an early version of Office (pre-2000), don't use Journaling as it will slow down your system.

There is also metadata inside the file structure, which will tell you who did what, when and on which computer - that's why there have been some embarrassing moments in recent history! (Think Iraq WMD reports!) But you need some skill to get this metadata.
