  1. I think I found the function to which you're referring in Excel (under "Tools" > "Share Workbook" > check the box "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time"). Correct? But, I'm using MS Word, and I don't see the equivalent function, under "Tools" or anywhere else. An Internet search on the key words links only to references for Excel. Perhaps this functionality does not exist in Word? Help?
  2. If a person is already editing a document and another person goes to open it, are either or both of them notified that the document is being edited by two people?
  3. Thanks so much Harold. I take your reply to mean, as well, that both users' edits are saved complete and intact, correct? It's confusing to me because both User A & B at first would be editing, simultaneously, what might be called Version 1 of a document. When A closes his or her document, that creates Version 2 (the new main document). Then when B closes his or her document, that creates Version 3 (a subsequent new main document). So let's say A deletes a paragraph before saving (creating Version 2 without the paragraph) and B edits that paragraph, the one A has deleted (creating Version 3 which has edits to a paragraph that was deleted in Version 2). When B saves (Version 3), what becomes of the deleted paragraph and its subsequently edited content (because it seems to me that it can't be both deleted in Version 2 and edited in Version 3)? In other words, if B's edits "undo" something A has already edited, but A saves the document first, what happens? Whew! I hope that's clear.
  4. I'm using BTS to work on MS Word docs on a Mac. If I and another collaborator(s) open and edit a document on the shared folder simultaneously, what happens?
