I'm working on a project in which authors are all using
Word - 97, 2000, and 2002. The authors are currently on
their own computers in offsite locations. They are
writing different sections for the document. We want to
combine all sections into one overall document that is
controlled at the final stages so there is a "master"
document, eliminating the confusion that can result from
using the wrong version of the document.

There are several options to control access, including
using Microsoft Access on our main server. Does anyone
have any advice on how to go about controlling the
document? Is Word alone adequate for this? The document
is 140 pages long.

Thanks.
 
Hi Melissa,

I don't understand what you mean by "controlling" the
document. And whatever it is, I suspect Access is NOT the
right tool...

But I see you've posted again a bit later on, so let's carry
on the discussion there, where you've provided a bit more
information.
