Multiple Users Editing Word Docs using 2007

[Ailish]

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.

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?

Hello!

How often do you guys check these questions? I'm on a deadline and I need
help asap.

Thanks!

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.

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.
