Default Joint group editing in Word

We are doing a student group project that requires us to jointly produce several documents. We are sick of having to email documents around and finding out people have made conflicting changes.

Is it possible to have multiple people edit the same document at the same time?

BTW, most of us have MS Word 2007.

Have you tried using Google Docs or SharePoint? If you are using Word 2010 with SharePoint you can let your collaborators work on different sections of the document at the same time.

There are tools out there that let you and your collaborators work together simultaneously in Word: DocVerse lets you do some simple collaborative editing in Word, but synchronization is done manually. Offisync lets you work and collaborate in Word and Google Docs. CodoxWord lets you do real-time collaboration using all of with the features in MS Word and synchronizes the document automatically.Try these tools out and see what works for you.

If you are just looking to collaborate in Word, CodoxWord is a big step up from DocVerse because you have to manage and bring together everyone’s changes manually in DocVerse whereas CodoxWord does it for u. Also, CodoxWord is free. Just my 2 cents.

Hi
I would like to use the sharepoint for one of my application but I am completely unaware of that technology. Can you give me guide or link of tutorial from where I can learn the share point??
