Did you know that there was a macro for OOo 1.1.x that provided that
functionality?
No. But just to be clear, the functionality you refer is this?:
... the recovery aspect [has] a real benefit. As I indicated, the
current system does leave the possibility of having closely
related documents recovered to different points in the workflow.
So it was a macro to link documents fo synchronization, including
synchronized recovery following a document crash? If so, I would love
to see how that worked. If I have misunderstood your point, please correct.
It worked about as well as the equivalent in MSO97. (I don't remember
when Microsoft removed that functionality from MSO.)
I did not know MSO ever had such capability [but my ignorance is vast ;-) ].
...
I am unlcear about the macro & functionality that Jonathan refers to.
However, I do have both OOo 1.1 and MSO97 and can test/check both if he
can clarify. MSO97 is currently operational on a Win2K virtual machine &
it would only take me about and hour to install OOo 1.1 from the
original CD on the same VM.
I *think* these links might be at least related to what Jonathon is
talking about although both refer to software considerably later than
MSO 97 and OOo 1.1:

Thanks Harold. What you are referring to is more along the lines of
server collaboration, so I suspect that may not be what he is referring to.
That said; if jonathon cares to offer some details, I'll be happy to
fire up MSO97 and OOo 1.1 to test.
BTW: other collaboration projects/offerings are here:

[Content & Document Management Systems, Search Technology]
The reason I think the links might have some relevance is the following
quote relating to synchronisation from the first (MSO) page about
Groove: "All changes are tracked by Groove, sent to all members and all
copies of the workspace are synchronized
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronize> via the network in a
peer-to-peer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer> manner."
