Hi Diane,
Your answer seems to contradict the posts in the current thread, "New
TECHWR-L Poll Question - Word Doc Sizes."
A better answer might be that large documents in Word become a mess when
edited by multiple non-TWs. Come to think of it, so do small ones --
they're just easier to clean up afterward.
It goes without saying that in most organizations, large documents in
Frame also can't be edited by multiple participants, since the non-TWs
usually don't speak Frame.
Under the circumstances, I think that your "quickest solution" is also
the best one -- unless you want to go the wiki/twiki route.
