Configuring iManage Software
An issue with iManage Integration for Office, a Word add‑in distributed with some versions of iManage FileSite and DeskSite, can cause Word to temporarily become unresponsive when documents close while using Contract Tools. A solution is available in versions of iManage Integration for Office distributed with FileSite and DeskSite 9.3.5 and later.
When a document closes, iManage Integration for Office sets the property of a range (similar to a selection in Word) to the property’s current value. In computer programming, this is called a self-assignment. A self-assignment typically has no effect, but in this case, it causes Word to perform a time-consuming and unnecessary task with data that Contract Tools uses to sync analysis results with documents while there are unanalyzed changes. As a result, Word may temporarily become unresponsive.
iManage tracks this issue using reference number NT‑72170. For more information, see Quick Update CSAR-2626 for FileSite and DeskSite 9.3.5 with Office Integration, available at https://imanage.com.
