Controlling content conversion

Enterprise Vault converts Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word documents to HTML. If Enterprise Vault performs many such conversions, or if the documents are complex, you may suffer performance problems. In such cases, you can significantly improve performance by making Enterprise Vault convert the documents to text instead of HTML.

Enterprise Vault provides the following registry values with which you can use control whether Enterprise Vault converts documents to text instead of HTML:

To convert Excel documents to text instead of HTML, set the following registry key to 1:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
	\ConvertExcelToText
```
To convert Word documents to text instead of HTML, set the following registry key to 1:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
	\ConvertWordToText
```
To list a number of file types that must be converted to text, edit the following registry key:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SOFTWARE
  \KVS
   \Enterprise Vault
	\TextConversionFileTypes
```
This registry key contains a list of file types, separated by periods, of the file types that are converted to text. The list must end in a period.

For example, if the list is currently .PPT.POT.PPS.ZIP. and you want to add file type XYZ, you would change the list to the following:
```
.PPT.POT.PPS.ZIP.XYZ.
```
