  • The system requirements are based on the usage of Exact Globe only, if other applications are used on the same machines the requirements should be increased;

* As a result of a US court ruling, Microsoft issued an update for Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Microsoft Office Word 2010. The updated software does not include a particular custom XML tagging implementation. This particular custom XML tagging capability is used by Exact for Word merge in Exact Globe. We are currenly investigating other possiblities to provide you with the Word merge in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2010. To read the official statement issued by Microsoft, click here and here (Word 2010).
