Open several word documents

Question

In SolMan (Solar01), MS Word documents are attached to the documentation tabs, and can be opened, edited and saved. But appearently only one document can be opened at the time, and if you navigate to another place in the structure than where you opened the document, the Word document you just opened goes blank and you loose any changes you might have made.
An example:
You have a business process in the structure which is called "General Ledger", with some Word documents placed on the Project Documnentation Tab. You open one of the Word documents, and then navigate to another node in the structure - fx. "Accounts Payable" and switches back to the Word window. Now the Word document has gone blank.
Is there some way to set up Solution Manager so that several documents in the structure can be opened at the same time (multiple Word sessions), and ensure that the documents open does not go blank when navigating to another node in the structure.
Regards
Lars

Answer 1

Hello Lars,
there is no possibility to edit several documents in SolMan at the same time in one mode. At the moment an open document is closed when you navigate to another node but if you have done changes to this document you will get a popup which asks you to save those changes. So you do not loose any changes to the document, if you do not want to loose them.
I see two workarounds:
1.you could open solar01 in another window and open the second document there
2. you could use the checkin/checkout functionality and work with the documents locally
Best regards
