Chapter 17. Creating, Editing, and Managing Word Documents with SharePoint
Introduction
MOSS 2007 integrates with Microsoft Word 2007 and other Microsoft Office Suite applications in a variety of ways. The primary interface to Word documents in SharePoint is through Document Workspaces and libraries.
Tip
See Chapter 9 for more details on those document management tools.
Typically, Word is used for writing reports, documenting best practices, recording procedures, and creating other text-based documents. Often a group or a team collaborates to create a single document. SharePoint allows workgroups to create, share, and modify a single Word document through a portal site. SharePoint and Microsoft Word 2007 work together by:
Sharing Word documents with a specific team in a SharePoint Document Workspace.
Storing Word documents in a document library, either placing all documents in one library or creating types of document libraries based on content, team, or team location.
Controlling versioning of documents in document libraries.
Assigning specific tasks on a document to team members.
Creating email alerts for team members, and notifying them when a document has been created or modified.
Creating and modifying a web page from a Word document using document-to-page converter tools.
