Re: Differing Word doc behavior

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Office 2000 doesn't support some of the features of SharePoint that Office
2003 does, and it's recommended users upgrade to 2003 to take advantage of
these features. The current SP release was in 2003, along with Office.

Last in wins. SP doesn't have a merge feature.
