Hi Martin,

You should be able to link to Excel and Word documents from Org by prefixing the normal path with "file+sys:" instead of just file.  This doesn't work when the files are on a Windows Share (at least for me), though.  I'm also interested in getting a robust connection between Org and Outlook so I will be paying attention to this thread with earnest.

Best Regards,

Kyle

I'm using Emacs org-mode for task and information management in a business
environment dominated by Microsoft products (Windows, Office, ...).

I wonder how to create a set-up for maximum productivity and I'd like to
know how you integrate org-mode in your work on MS Windows.

Creating hyperlinks in my org-mode files/tasks, which let me jump directly
to E-Mail in MS Outlook (Exchange-based), open Word-, Excel- or Powerpoint
documents, etc. is a very helpful feature for integrating org-mode.

Are there other techniques, tools or add-ons which are helpful for that
purpose?


Kind regards

Martin
