If you check out a word document you can use POI or some other library to update it, then you can check it back in, but that's it.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Jeff</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Sep 2012 10:38:59 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-rookie-implementation-question/m-p/258867#M211997 jpotts 2012-09-11T10:38:59Z Re: Alfresco rookie - implementation question https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-rookie-implementation-question/m-p/258868#M211998 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thank you for your response Jeff.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>-J</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:53:16 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-rookie-implementation-question/m-p/258868#M211998 jason 2012-09-11T13:53:16Z
