I have no idea how that would work and it certainly would not allow for
the fine grained multi-user editing ability that I would require, plus
it adds another layer of complexity that my audience would certainly
not appreciate. Actually, the ability to share a document with multiple
users, each having the ability to edit a document, and share that
document with other users but with only myself or someone I designate
having the ability to produce the final document is one of the features
I most like about MS Word. I have yet to find anything that 'just
works' that effortlessly. However, I am always open to suggestions.
