We rolled out a macro-enabled Word 2010 .docm into Sharepoint and found that the first user to edit it, causes all others to get "Locked for Editing By Another User".
But if we save the .doc. as a .doc, co-authoring is possible.
We wonder if having a macro in a .docm indeed causes co-authoring to fail, or maybe it's some other phenomenon.
The macro in question is very simple, just a config to adjust some Word settings when a user opens the .docm:
Sub AutoOpen()
' AutoOpen Macro
' macro to display bookmarks, field shading, formatting marks, _
table grid lines and turn off Track Formatting in Track Changes _
on opening an existing document based on the template
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowAll = True
.ShowBookmarks = True
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingAlways
If ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.TableGridlines = False Then
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.TableGridlines = True
End If
End With
With ActiveDocument
.TrackFormatting = False
End With
End Sub
