A partner who I am not going to mention by name for privacy reasons, told me through skype today that we should add the following blog article. So, here it is:

[9:05:37] Alec Wadey: I think you should blog this:
[9:05:39] Alec Wadey: 1) Ensure you have the IFilter Media Engine set for the relevant FileType (should be there by default on Office docs)
2) Ensure you have the ReadContent Media Action set for the relevant FileType (again should be there by default)
3) Install the “Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs” on your server (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5cd4dcd7-d3e6-4970-875e-aba93459fbee)
4) Restart IIS
[9:06:05] Alec Wadey: with a title "Getting ADAM to index content in Office Documents"

There. I have done my duty
