Re: editing docs "IN" workspace

Thanks for this response. I hadn't tried sharedview, and just downloaded it to try it out. You point out some good items to address the online editing and collaboration within OLW. While there appears to be several ways to collaborate, what still seems to be missing is that all members of a project...

With OLW, you don't need an Adobe Acrobat for converting your document to PDF or WinZip to compress your file(s) anymore

Hi Earlier, we used to convert the Microsoft Word document to Portable document Format (PDF). to send document(s) across for peer reviews. The document used to be larger in size when it was concerted to PDF, so we used to compress the PDF file , using the WinZip program . Suppose, there is restriction...

Re: Missing Edit Button--Not using FireFox

Re: author cannot edit his own work on another computer

Steve, here is one more thing we didn't discuss that might be an issue for you: file format. Is it possible that you created the document you wish to edit in Office 2007, the default format of which is a ".xlsx" file -- and then attempted to edit that default format file in an earlier version...

Re: author cannot edit his own work on another computer

Hi Steve! Have you got it working yet? If you have author permissions in a workspace, you can save those documents to your desktop, and open and edit independently of the doc saved to the workspace -- but one of the great features of the workspace is that you can have several people collaborate on a...

An update when a change has been made in a workspace is a great idea -- though you wouldn't want to have it for every time the document is saved. I'd vote for the earlier of when the user who made the change signs out (sending an alert to all who have shared privileges) or at some predetermined...

Re: How collaborative is this?

I couldn't agree more with John. We tried Google Docs, and in concept I really like it. In practice, it has a looooooonnng way to go. When I had the opportunity to setup a workspace here, I jumped on it; we've moved everything over from Google Docs, and with a couple of exceptions, I like this...

Re: Unable to share documents

Hi rgusaas... From what I can tell, if you are using a "known application" (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint) then there is an automatic checkout feature whenever someone opens the document for editing from within Workspace. But I don't know of anyway to "checkout" a document for...
