I'm administering a site using Contribute in CS3 and have docs set to open in
Microsoft Word for editing. If I browse to a doc, it opens in Word so I cannot
edit. If I go 'Choose', select a doc and then 'OK', it opens in Word and once I
have edited and try to save, I have to navigate back to the root folder it came
from. If I close Word without saving and go back to Contribute, the file
location is shown in the address bar and if I then choose 'Edit' it is launched
via the Contribute Editing Draft in Another Application window, but clicking
'back' won't let me browse back to the website. If I edit and then close the
word doc, then click 'launch' as if I wanted to continue editing, I am often
told that I don't have an application that can edit this type of file.

I'm sure that in earlier versions of Contribute, word docs were opened via
Contribute and saved back to the same location easy peasy. I'm not sure at the
moment whether to tell users that they have to upload a completely new file
rather than edit one.

Any ideas at to what's happening and why would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Please let me know which version of the Office you are using? Is it Office 2003 or 2007?
Thanks,
Manoj
