Office 2013 support

Question

I am planning to upgrade to Office 2013 soon, which adds support for the Office Open XML Strict profile and ODF (Open Document Format) v1.2. I cannot find the Office 2013 IFilter pack though. Will Agent Ransack and FileLocator Lite/Pro be able to search through these files properly?

Answer 1

Office 2013 should install the appropriate IFilter to handle those file types.

We installed the 32-bit version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 on Windows 8 Pro x64 and IFilters were installed for both 32-bit AND 64-bit applications. The IFilters covered all the usual office formats (e.g. doc, docx, xls, xlsx) but also for ODF formats, such as odt and ods.

The IFilters were tested using 64-bit FileLocator Pro and included tests on normal DOCX files and also DOCX files saved in *Strict Open XML Document (.docx)** format.

Comments

Yes, but I was still planning to go with the 32-bit version of Office (no use for the 64-bit version yet), so where might I obtain the 64-bit IFilters from to go along with the 64-bit versions of your products?
