Default Can two people open the same document and look at the same time?

Hi Tanmara,

Look at, yes - Microsoft Word supports that. The second person to open the document will simply get a warning message that the
document is already open, at which point, they can open it as read-only, get Word to notify them when the other person closes the
document, or cancel.

Editing - not really, although if the second person to access the document concurrently (ie the read-only version) saves their edits
using a different filename, that is possible also. But then it's no longer the same document.

Cheers
