Guest Michael Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Just recently, within our SharePoint (v2) Document Library, multiple idividuals are reported issues for when they click on the document name drop down menu and choose "Edit in Microsoft Office Word". Expected behavior is for the document to open up within MS Word 2003. Now, MS Word does not open when "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" is chosen. The work around is to start MS Word (winword.exe) first, then the document opens as expected. Or, they can simply double-click on the link to the document, and MS Word opens the document (The only problem with this double-click method is that is misinforms you that the document is Read-Only which confuses the heck out of end-users). The same issue is occurring with MS Excel files. We have documented processes that our users must follow and this is not allowing them to do so, I'm sure this has something to do with an MS Security Patch for IE or XP? Yet I cannot easily find this issue out there anywhere. Thought I'd throw it out there with hopes you've already come across it.
