Can two people edit a document in realtime over a network
Yesterday a co-worker and I were working on a word document together. we were
in her office so she had her computer and I had my laptop. Both of us had an origional copy of the document (located on our local server) open however when we made changes both of us had to type the changes on our own copy. We though it would be great if we could each edit it in real time. Is this possible? Sarah |

Word has a locking mechanism that prevents that. I haven't tried this, but it should work... If both computers are running Windows XP, you may be able to use the Remote Assistance feature to share control of the same desktop to both keyboards, using only one copy of the document on one computer. Here are a couple of articles about it: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...ist/intro.mspx http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=28481 -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
