Re: Using documents from libraries in Team Sites

Windows SharePoint Services is a free download so there isn't a 30-day trial
version available as one isn't needed.
So, can you please check again. There *is* a limited time version of
SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
On b) document libraries are independent entities that contain their own
documents. Attachments offer a way to link from one List item to a document
in another document library as do Link libraries. Another way to see
documents for doc lib A elsewhere in the site structure is to create a Data
View Web part (with FP 2003) that access that other document library and
lists the documents from it. In all these scenarios however the document
remains in the same single location (and this is the intention).
If you are indeed using SPS 2003 then you have other possibilities of
grouping links of relevant documents such as Areas (but the SPS newsgroup
know more about that). There again however the document remains in its one
document library.
In short: a) documents are stored in one location in one document library
b) there are many ways of being able to access the document
(read-only) from many other locations.
I hope this helps.

P.S. Perhaps you'd better also say why you are using a Meeting Workspace and
not a standard Team Site.
