Document in MS Word, chapter 2 is bytes 30-50 and bytes 80-90. User A wants to edit chapter 2 User B wants to edit chapter 1 User C wants to edit chapter 2 A locks bytes 30-50, bytes 80-90 B locks bytes 10-20 B edits chapter 1, adds 20 bytes. Can B check this in? Create a new version? Increases the size of the existing version? How does this work? Larry
