I have no idea how that would work and it certainly would not allow for the fine grained multi-user editing ability that I would require, plus it adds another layer of complexity that my audience would certainly not appreciate. Actually, the ability to share a document with multiple users, each having the ability to edit a document, and share that document with other users but with only myself or someone I designate having the ability to produce the final document is one of the features I most like about MS Word. I have yet to find anything that 'just works' that effortlessly. However, I am always open to suggestions. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/U=HGXNX8Aq=E3gt3k3UVZI/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl5JigcACgkQOHMGOIfe xWTZ6AgAl0HYwdMhYsg+yBoUKisZ3g8fmHJ5eBdjpt0cClI1k505r57/kikSJeqM dv8gXC27Y7eGfZB+BZLBcHmU/S4KHn5jMsPbkxGi/anRWQbFRJYAh49frpgNYOX8 wJElH8a5seGH1qFYlLR8Qk/13obG4ehFTR9wWFuAcJChqDiqtNsMEruPkgf8Sx3o Q4g4VK6SAXIPdfza5jO+teb17XRrWOCBEnmHS+HMDhUn5eoBYZps/w3n9UYx7xLd sQEFfMberQcLgiQNEY2W//1OLqxamRE3ipFnwYyjQ9QRiapntZ+YFL6OIvf9bSbx mmiLaNVILAV8qGpcUwYgRqB2hgUoyg== =N0t8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/U=HGXNX8Aq=E3gt3k3UVZI/--
