Subject: Word/Web Integration - Save to Server

Hello Mark,
                     The most effective method, which is also secure is FTP
or File Transfer Protocol.
In brief you would set up a folder for a user requiring a password for
entry. That user would then use either an FTP software or event Internet
Explorer to access the folder. Most website control panels even allow
limitations to be set on the folder maximum storage.

In SSH (primarily) a Windows "publishing" atmosphere? Somebody else will
need to advise you.

A third alternative is something many people ask questions about and rarely
use because of the software cost. That is "content management" [if you do a
google, you'll find much,] the theory in content management is that a
webmaster would create pages and a user would ONLY be able to make changes
in specific portions or specific pages.

I'm not a VBA person and I have ActiveX turned off. Apparently, many things
are possible with VBA which might save me work. I just don't have the time.
I make simple working pages which get the content across to both the search
engines and the market share.
I'd much rather spend ANY time I have in preservation of the content
relative to my websites viewers and my interest, however the web pages
present the content :-)

Hi Mark,

For information on the Windows Sharepoint Services (formerly Office Sharepoint Team Services) you may want to visit these locations.
Sharepoint is a form of 'content management' software that MS Office integrates into.

MS Word 2000, 2002 and 2003 all have the ability built in to save a Word document or revised (in Word) Web Page directly to a Web
Server using File=>Save As.  The host site needs to support either MS Office Server Extensions, MS FrontPage Server Extensions or be
a Windows 2003 server with Windows Sharepoint Services.

=========
Everyone -

I realize that there are capabilities on web sites (i.e. Windows Services
Sites) that allow inline editing of Word documents and when you click save
they are sent back to the server.  Is there any place or information on how
this works?

I have seen articles about using VB commands and other ActiveX type commands
to make this happen, but we may have restrictions on browser security that
may prohibit ActiveX methods.

So are there other approaches to allow the user to "download" or edit
documents and then save them back to the server when they click save?

Thanks,
Mark >>
