Hiya all, first let me say that this problem is Sharepoint related. I'm trying to find a way where user changes to documents can be 'blocked' together. At the moment, say User A adds "one two three" to a document and then User B adds "two three four" to the document in the exact same place. When the document changes are merged (process explained later) the new document has the changed text as "one two three four" with "two three" being considered part of the orginal document, "one" being part of the User A change, and "four" being part of the User B change
I can understand why & how this would happen, but this is not the behavior we want from it. Is it possible to change the merge behavior so that the merged document would have the changes as seperate paragraphs rather then trying to merge the changes into the same paragraph
I'm sorry if I'm not making sense, but I can clarify things if asked
The document merge processes with regards to Sharepoint Portal are
1. UserA opens the document for editin
2. UserB opens the document for editing and when prompted due to the document lock, elects to save a local copy of the document and merge changes later
3. UserB saves a local cop
4. Both UserA & UserB make changes
5. UserA closes the document, freeing up the document loc
6. If UserB still has the document open in word, then they are prompted to merge now
7. If UserB does not have the document still open then they have loaded it and done a compare/merge changes with the document in the portal
8. Steps 6/7 give us a merged document that has the problems as discussed above.
