Multiple People Editing at One Time?
Thanks Jay.
I'll look into the IncludeText and RD fields to see how they work and if we can use them. For SharePoint, I just started looking at that earlier today. Our organization has another tool called ProjectLink which does a lot of the same stuff, based on what I've learned so far. Do you know of any docs that talk about all the super cool integration that using SharePoint might buy us? We do have access to SharePoint as well, but ProjectLink is our little groups standard way of doing something... probably because the rest of the company uses SharePoint. -_- "Jay Freedman" wrote: Although theoretically Word could be designed along the lines you described, it wasn't. Word doesn't have any kind of partial document locking mechanism like a database -- it's the whole document or nothing. You can use separate documents for the sections, and bring them together into a single document by using IncludeText fields (and RD fields for constructing a table of contents and index). To date the Master Document feature is broken and frequently damages documents, so don't use it (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RecoverMasterDocs.htm). Alternatively, you might be able to use a SharePoint server or a version control system to manage the checkouts. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
