Can two people work on the same Word document at the same time?

I know that you can do it in Excel by creating a shared workbook.

But can you do something similar in Word?

Help! I'm desperate with a deadline!

 

[JoAnn Paules]

No - and if you could, I still wouldn't recommend it. <shiver!>

 

[Sara]

I kinda agree... but why then can you do it in Excel? Strange.

Sorry, no. Desperate or not, it can't be done.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Don't know - but I wouldn't do it there either. (I don't think that shared
workbooks work quite the way you're thinking tho. Access will allow multiple
users to enter data at the same time tho.) Maybe if I worked with people who
were a bit more computr savvy but even then I'd hesitate.
