Subject:Co-Author MS Word (2007) Documents in Real-Time From:SB <sylvia -dot- braunstein -at- gmail -dot- com> To:Techshoret <techshoret -at- yahoogroups -dot- com>, TECHWR-L Whirlers <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:32:37 +0300
All,
I compiled a mini list of tools that may allow us to Co-Author MS
Word Documents in Real-Time (listed below).
I would like to what you are using and get your feedback and
recommendations. (Note: we are using Word 2007 and we have Sharepoint 2007).
Many thanks.
*Tools I have used:*
· Teamviewer Remote desktop – Very efficient, free, and
secure. Users have to look at the document at the same time and do the
edits at the same time (requires a meeting and may require a phone/skype
conversation).
· Acrobat – we have the tools. It works very nicely and is secure
but we have to merge the changes back into Word (or can it be imported?).
*I have googled these but I don't know anything about it:*
* *
· *Coword* – free but supports only Word 2003
· *Docverse *–* *combo of Word and googledocs (does it work and
security issue?) http://www.docverse.com/
· *Central Desktop ?*
· *Live office ? *
· *Office 2010/Sharepoint 2010* Very costly upgrade
