I have a Word document on a network drive that contains a table that I would like two users to be able to fill in certain cells with data throughtout the day. &nbsp;Each user would be on a different PC and would need to be able to see the data entered by the other user. &nbsp;At the end of the day, the document would be printed, &nbsp;and saved as a new filename. &nbsp;On the original document, the cells containing the data would be cleared to prepare for data entry the next day. &nbsp;This process is doable in Excel with a shared workbook, but it is not recommended because of the problem with random corruption of the shared workbook. &nbsp;Can I do this using Word?

Can two users work on a Word document at the same time?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
