When Microsoft Office is installed on the same computer as AutoCAD Civil 3D and an Autodesk Vault client, the file menu for these three Microsoft applications is automatically customized for Vault access. An Open From Vault command and an Autodesk Vault submenu are both added to the Office button, as shown in figure 11.

Using these commands, you can log in to Autodesk Vault and work securely with documents without leaving the Microsoft application window.
