I have a folder on a public drive which contains files for a group project,
if more than one person has the document open and make changes, the first one
to save and close loses their changes because the changes are not in the
other person's document. I would like to allow only one person to have the
file open at a time.
 
Word does not permit more than one person to have a document open for
editing at the same time. The second person must open it Read Only or as a
copy.
