from MS Office and this little utility seems to me to be the best way to start. It allows you to work on documents in folders while still keeping things available http://dominogavin.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-install-openntf-document.html for users who prefer to access folders directly. The only caveat that I've found so far is that it wants everything to be stored in OpenDocument format and will convert the imports accordingly.So... I've just installed this plug-in and in typical "dumb-user" fashion, I had to ask a number of questions of the authors.I thought that to save others a bit of time and to illustrate the whole procedure, lotus notes I'd make the procedure available here. Even if you're not interested in this particular plug-in, you might be interested in some of the others which are available. (like the awesome FileNavigator project).

For some reason it's a zip inside the ZIP. Notes didn't want to read it when I first tried, so I unzipped it.3. In Lotus Notes client click File, Application, Install on the menu. What? You don't have a File, Application, Install menu option? Sometimes you don't. I'm not sure why. It might be an 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 thing because I didn't need to do it in 8.5.2.To enable the Eclipse update manager UI in Lotus Notes, use these steps...a. Close your Lotus Notes clientb. Start Notepad or your preferred text editor.c. Open the \framework\rcp in the Notes Application DirectoryIn my case, this was, C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\framework\rcp d. Look for a file called
