Support for Microsoft Office 2007 Documents

October 18, 2007

One of the strengths of Approver.com is the fact that we let you work the way you want to. If you want to use our in-browser word processor to create and share documents online, you can do that. But if you want to share files created in the applications you’re accustomed to, such as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, PhotoShop, or Framemaker, we’ve got you covered there, too.

Today we added support for the new file formats provided by Microsoft Office 2007. You can use Approver.com to upload and share documents created in Word 2007 (.docx), Powerpoint 2007 (.pptx) and Excel 2007 (.xlsx). To get started sharing uploaded files on Approver.com, visit our upload page, which contains a list of the two dozen uploadable file types we now support.


Associate More Email Addresses with your Approver.com Account

October 2, 2007

For some time now, Approver.com has given you the ability to associate more than one email address with your account. It’s handy, particularly if you answer to more than one email address (or if you’re changing jobs and need to change email addresses). The idea is to enable your colleagues to invite you to review a document no matter which email address they know you by.

You can associate a secondary email account with your Approver.com account by going to your Approver.com profile, entering the new email address, and verifying the address by clicking on a link in an email that we’ll send to your new address.

Approver.com Pro users can have up to 10 email addresses associated with their accounts. Today we relaxed the restriction on how many email addresses a free user can have. Users with a free Approver.com account can now have two email addresses associated with their account instead of just one. Also, today we fixed a bug with verification of secondary email addresses (we were sending the verification email to your old email address instead of your new one).

If you’ve been having trouble getting your email address(es) assigned to your Approver.com account properly, this should help. If not, as always, please leave us feedback.
