Get Started with Internet Access
To use the Internet features with this program, you must have Internet or intranet access and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.1 Service Pack 1 (or a later version). In this text, the term Internet is used to refer to both the Internet and an intranet. To save files to an Internet location, you must have sufficient access rights to the directory where the files are stored. Contact your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to receive access rights for you and anyone else who needs to work with the files.
If you connect to the Internet through your company's network, you might have to set up a proxy server configuration. Proxy servers act as security barriers by shielding information on your company's network from potential security risks due to external Internet access. See the Internet applet in the Windows. Control Panel or contact your network administrator for details about how to configure a proxy server in your network environment.
