    MS Word 2003 does not show shared workspace when opening document

    Reply Quote
    I have a document library in SPS 2007 with versioning. When I
    select "Edit Document", a message pops up saying the document will be
    checked out, click ok and MS Word 2003 opens with a shared workspace in
    task pane that shows me that the document is part of a sharepoint site
    and gives me an option to checkin. Also, if I exit Word without
    savings, it gives me a message box with 4 options (Save and checkin,
    check in without saving, etc). HOWEVER, this behavior does not happen
    in all machines. If the same user logs in to the same sharepoint site
    and opens the same document, MS Word does not open the task pane at
    all. If I open this task pane manually, I do not see any reference to
    Sharepoint at all.

    The machines are similar, same versions of Windows XP, same versions of
    MS Word but probably other software installed differently or installed
    in different order.
