Hi,
I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway.
At my company, we are developing a spec that will be used by three
departments. The spec will be a Word doc. I'm wondering if there is a way to
allow more than one person to work on the spec at the same time.
We would like to avoid having each department write their own spec and then
merge them into one spec. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a single,
current spec.
