Does "Edit Offline" make the document show up in the other view (alfresco.libo) as locked or "editing started by" or some way of knowing someone's working on it? I didn't think it did, but I haven't tested this. "Edit Offline" in doc.libo doesn't seem to do that, and perhaps whoever (I've forgotten who) was working on a file hadn't picked the right choice in doc.libo and so an indicator didn't show up in alfresco.libo. Sorry, I just haven't had time to do any testing to see if I'm misremembering things... which is quite likely. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
