Extensions

Extensions lists the extensions that are currently installed on your computer.

Extension options are global options—set from Excel, Word, or PowerPoint—which apply to the entire current document, including any new worksheets added to the current workbook, new slides added to the current presentation, or new pages added to the current document, and to all Microsoft Office documents that are created henceforth, including Excel workbooks and worksheets, PowerPoint presentations and slides, and Word documents. Changes to global option settings become the default for all existing and new Microsoft Office documents.

The first time users open the Extensions tab of the Options dialog box, it contains a list of the extensions that are currently installed to leverage Oracle Smart View for Office functionality for other Oracle products. See Supported Extensions for a complete list of supported extensions. Other extensions that can be downloaded and installed are made visible using the Check for Updates, New Installs, and Uninstalls link on the dialog box.
