Thanks Steve.

In fact it is rather desirable to use MSWord editor or something similar,
such as OpenOffice, because is the editor being currently used.

I don't really know if there's any document format (different from text
format) that can be "synchronized", and I only have few experience using CVS
for source code. Do you know if OpenOffice XML format could be
"synchronized" in an easy to use way?
Do you know any filesystem or another solution that synchronizes in a more
"transparent" way (not needing user's intervention)? For example using
something like "rsync"? This of course in the case of user's not really
sharing the documents for modification at the same time.
I've read that Intermezzo uses (or used to have) an "Intersync"
synchronizer, but I don't know if that synchronization actually sends only
the "differences" of the files.

Thanks,
Juan Carlos
