features that help multiple users edit the same file?
What are the features in word to facilitate two people editing the same
file, or version control? The file is on a shared folder on a peer-to-peer LAN. I'm using office 2007. I'm not looking for a tutorial. Even just a list of features/keyword would be nice so I can research those topics further. I found something about a "version" menuitem in the file menu but I cannot find that menuitem. Perhaps this is for an older version of word. So where did this feature move to? |

Track Changes, Compare and Merge are the bits you should look at. Your
choice depends on which suits what you are doing and how you work. Versions were a feature of pre-2007 Word and were VERY buggy and to be avoided. Apart from anything else, file size really bloated and eventually the document would explode! -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "james" wrote in message ...

If€”in addition to the Word features Terry mentioned€”traceability and
automatic version control is important, you might also want to look into document management systems such as SharePoint.
