A Contribute 3 user on our intranet site frequently needs to edit linked Word
(and sometimes Excel) documents which have hyperlinks from a home page. Rather
than click on the document and have Word itself open in a new window, she likes
to be able to have the document open within Contribute. Here's how she
decribes the problem she is having --

To modify a document I open Contribute, go to the Home page, and click the
hyperlink for that document. When things work, the document opens within
Contribute and the ?Edit? button at the top is visible, allowing me to edit the
document within Contribute. I make the changes, save and it goes to the
Contribute page and I select the ?Publish? button.

But....
Other times, I open Contribute, Choose the document, it will not have the
?Edit? button, instead it opens it up in a new window in Word and adds a
version number [1] behind the name. I can make the changes in Word. However,
it will not allow me save/publish it within Contribute.

I cannot explain why sometimes it works one way and other times it's
different. I prefer to be able to edit these Word files directly within
Contribute. (Version 3 is what I'm using). After the document is edited, I do
not want a new version (with the [1] appended. I want to have my old version
overwritten and replaced with the edited version on the website.

Thoughts on what's going on here??? - Thanks
