document life cycle in word 2007

[Guest]

I read somewhere that versioning has been replaced with document life cycle
functionality (DLC) in Word 2007.Could anyone provide me with a link or more
information about it?

Hi Preeto,

The Document Life Cycle features are part of Workflow Management provided by using Office 2007 clients software with Office 2007
Sharepoint Server and Windows Sharepoint Services v3.

Word 2007's part in that would basically be being able to 'hook' into the Sharepoint managed libraries along with Document
Management tools for content protection and security.

In Word help search on 'Collaboration' in Offline help for the features in Office 2007.

For more on Sharepoint you can use http://office.microsoft.com/sharepoint and/or

http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/f/?en-us/library/15e6e3a3-9d35-47af-b287-13aec95d247e1033.mspx

There is a Version Extraction Tool (VET) available as part of the MS Office Migration tools (along with the enterprise batch file
converters) that can separate out versioned files from Office 2003.

Hi Bob,
Is versioning and document life cycle(DLC) the same thing? and it
is a feature available in Share point server ,right?

Hi Preeto,

The ability to manage versions is one part of the Document Lifecyle/Workflow feature set of the 2007 Office products family.
That part does require the use of the Sharepoint products, but some of that comes from Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 and some from
the Office Sharepoint Server. It isn't a menu choice as it was in File=>Versions in prior Word editions.

You may want to use the link below to followup on the details with the Sharepoint folks.
