Multiple Users Editing Word Docs using 2007
Hi All
Just wondering is there any possible way that several users could access a Word 2007 file and edit the file at the same time like you can in Excel by Sharing the Workbook?? Or is there any other add-ons etc.. that could be used as an alternative? Thanks Ailish |

Word files are not intended to provide simultaneous access by multiple
users. I've seen reference to network doc management software that enables the capability, but I've also heard that it can cause complications. Haven't used it myself, so I can't say for sure. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Ailish" wrote in message ...

Hello!
What software do you recommend purchasing to be able to share a word document so that more than one person can have it open at the same time to make updates?

Many people read the queries every day.
If you haven't had a reply in a week, it probably means that there's nothing remotely resembling what you're looking for. On Jul 31, 2:19*pm, Marie wrote: Hello!

The questions are checked constantly, around the clock, by a variety of
fellow users. The forum is concerned with Word which as Bob Jones pointed out does not provide the function you require. Individual users may suggest third party software that know will provide what you require and with which they are familiar, but as no-one has suggested such software, it would seem no-one is willing or able to make a recommendation. Start with your favourite search engine. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Marie wrote: Hello! How often do you guys check these questions?
