| OK. Thanks.

| I work as part of a distrubted team and all our design docs are htm's that
| live on a remote server. This has worked well when I was the only person
| that needed to maintain the docs (i.e., I would edit my local copy and
| upload using my FTP client). But now QA is involved and they need to
| maintain the docs as well. If we could simply pulldown the docs from the
| remote server using IE, edit them and save back to the remote sever in
| Frontpage (similar to what you can do with Word - Save As - FTP Locations),
| we could collaborate much better.
|
| Not looking to add the overhead of setting up a "web" and installing the
| server extensions.
