Chapter 7
Installing the Document Manager Desktop Client and
Controls
This chapter explains how to install the Document Manager Desktop Enabler
and controls.
The Desktop Enabler lets users access Document Manager libraries via the
Windows Explorer, provides support for integrated applications such as
Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite®, and lets users manage local settings
through the Document Manager Desktop Administrator.
The Document Manager controls provide additional support for Notes client
users.

Installing the Document Manager client
The user accesses Lotus Domino Document Manager as a Notes client
accessing the library database, or as a Web browser accessing the library
through its URL. No additional installation on the client workstation is
required for either of these access modes.
A Notes user can also access a library through the Document Manager
Desktop Enabler. The Enabler lets users who work with document-creation
applications such as Lotus Word Pro® or Microsoft Word access documents
in a Document Manager library directly from the application. This is
particularly useful for those who spend a significant amount of time working
in these applications.
You can install the Desktop Enabler from the Document Manager library
onto the Notes workstation, by using either a Notes client or a Web browser.
The installation procedure is the same for both the Notes client and the Web
browser.
