hi
Getting a couple of problems wondered if anyone has faced these:

1. PC has office2003 on it, but when they try Edit a document, get the error
" Edit Document requires a Windows Sharepoint Servies Compatible appication"
byt user DOES have Word 2003?
How do you configure Sharepoint and MS Office together?

2. I have Office 2003 also, when I Edit a Document, it lets me add some
text, then I have to 'check in' via Word... as it crashes if I dont, but most
of the time it crashes anyway, and Sharepoint doesnt know that I have tried
to check in via Word. Word
often crashes at this point, then have problem that says the document is
already checked out, and I only get read only copy, even though I am the user
its checked out to! Cant get it back!

Is there some documentation about configuring MSOffice with Sharepoint?
Am getting very erratic behaviour.

Thanks

I ll pass this on to my IT Dept. I work in a large Very security conscious
organisation so unfortunaltey I cant access any of this as all
network/programs access is locked down - dont have access to Add/Remove
programs or abilty to change any settings at all BUT I need to be able to
point my IT Dept in the right direction since they know little about
Sharepoint when they install the s/w!

any idea on the second point that even though I have Office2003 I have to
check in via it, and it doestn always update Sharepoint, and then crashes ?

thanks

There is a setting when you run Setup for Office that specifies support for
SharePoint. (Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs / Select Office 2003 and
Change + Add or Remove Features / click on advance customization and select
Office Tools / Windows SharePoint Services Support etc.)

The default situation is that this is switched ON for Office 2003 and OFF
for Office XP which is the only other Offfice version that supports the
"Edit in Microsoft Word" functionality.

So run Setup for Office and look ! (Although how it got turned off, I don't
know)
