    Does this program allow all joined users to make changes at the same time on any page of the file. Just like Excel works on Shared files. If not are there any future plans for this or is there a program out there that already does this?

    Hi Rick,

     

    SharedView allows only one person to make changes at a time, by giving control of the mouse & keyboard to another person in the session. There aren't plans to enable this in SharedView, but Microsoft is investigating and investing in such scenarios.  You may want to look at Google Documents - it allows some of what you're looking for, but it is a beta, and requires an import/export step to get the content back into Office formats.

     

    thanks

    Cameron,

     

    That's too bad because if you compare this to using www.copilot.com, it could be superior except for:

     

    1. File transfer option (can use handouts, but not quite the same).

     

    2. Option to have two people control the mouse at the same time, as with RDP, Citrix, LogMeIn, GoToMeeting, etc., etc. -- really important for collaboration, training or technical support.

     

    What I love is the 15 users, how fast it loads when you send an invitation to a guest that does not have it installed, don't need password if logged in, personal pointers (ultra cool!), can share single application, not just limited to desktop.

     

    Contratulations on your work here and how it is integrated.  Very exciting.
