Just recently, within our SharePoint (v2) Document Library, multiple
idividuals are reported issues for when they click on the document name drop
down menu and choose "Edit in Microsoft Office Word". Expected behavior is
for the document to open up within MS Word 2003.
Now, MS Word does not open when "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" is chosen.
The work around is to start MS Word (winword.exe) first, then the document
opens as expected. Or, they can simply double-click on the link to the
document, and MS Word opens the document (The only problem with this
double-click method is that is misinforms you that the document is Read-Only
which confuses the heck out of end-users). The same issue is occurring with
MS Excel files. We have documented processes that our users must follow and
this is not allowing them to do so,
I'm sure this has something to do with an MS Security Patch for IE or XP?
Yet I cannot easily find this issue out there anywhere. Thought I'd throw it
out there with hopes you've already come across it.
