SharePoint - MOSS 2007 and 'My Sharepoint Sites' in Word, Excel et al

Asked By Richard Price

Hi,

Can anyone tell me under what circumstances an end user will get the
'My Sharepoint Sites' tab in Word, Excel et al Open and Save file
dialogs?  Some of my users seem to have it, while others do not -
there is no configuration difference between the two groups either.

Is there anyway to add this manually to an end users computer?  Can
you poke Sharepoint in some way to force it to do it?

Cheers
Richard

Once a user has created a My Site and agreed to synchronize with it, you'll
get these in certain applications. The links can indeed be personalized, or
better "audentized" as some like to say, using Audiences. You configure this
in the Shared Services provider for the associated Web applications.
Published Links for Office Applications will be pushed out every 24 hours,
but again, a user must first create a My Site for this integration to start
working.

SharePoint Doc collaboration, how to group-edit a document via only a browser We're trying to the document "check out / edit with revision marks / check in" for files in a MOSS document workspace by using a browser rather than Office 2007. The document format doesn't have to be Word 2007, but I'd like the document type to be at least "rich text" (i.e eventual published document. The idea would be to use the HTML editor that comes with MOSS (or a third-party product such as Telerik's RadControls) instead of Office Word 2007 to suggest changes to the document. Example scenario: A draft report is being

SharePoint WSS 3.0 prompting for authentication on Vista clients I have a problem that is only occurring on Vista clients running office 2007: I am using WSS 3.0 with NTLM authentication on an Intranet.
