It would probably be easier... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Bailey Sent: Tuesday, 23 September 2008 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Using Windows SharePoint Services from a non-MOSS intranet page
Thanks Ishai, Jeremy and Darren, Yes, I thought it might be tricky ☺ But using WSS directly isn’t really an option. My other avenue is to build a Word add-in (VSTO here I come!) for them, but this seems even less appropriate...
