My office just upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2007. We are on a network and
share access to Word files. In Word 2003, if one user tried to open a file
in which another user was working, a message would appear stating that the
file was "locked for editing by (user)." It seems that with Word 2007, any
user can open a file (and edit it) while another user is doing so as well.
We do not want this to be the case, and just want the settings to be as they
were with Word 2003 (i.e. if a document is in use, another user cannot access
it simultaneously). Ideally, we'd like to again get the "locked for editing"
message when this occurrs.
Thank you.
