Mail Merge w/ Shared Workbook in Word and Excel 2003
Case:
I have an Excel file that is shared with several users and that merges with several Word documents. All users can use the Excel file, save whenever they please, and observe changes made other users without having to save. Problem: If one user is in a Word document, the Excel file cannot be saved by anyone until the Word document is closed. Ideally, I would like for everyone to have Word documents open, be able to make changes to/save the Excel file simultaneously, and have the Word document show the updated information without needing to be closed and reopened (after upgrading to Office 2003, this is what happened; I don't know why it stopped happening). |

Any takers on this issue?
I'm open to any kind of workaround... Thanks "Jim Jimmerson" wrote: Case: I have an Excel file that is shared with several users and that merges with several Word documents.
