There is a limitation in Office / SharePoint that the path to a document can not be longer than X characters (X may depend on the version of Office, but I am not sure about that - 255 is a good bet though). So if the combined path to the document (including the site name and document library name) exceeds that limit, Office can no longer work with the file.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>It is best to keep your structure as simple as possible, and use the title / description properties for more descriptive information instead of the name.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:58:54 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/edit-offline-the-url-for-this-file-is-too-long-for-the/m-p/278607#M231737 afaust 2014-03-28T08:58:54Z Re: Edit offline: The URL for this file is too long for the application.
