Sharing of MS Office Documents in Sharepoint 2010 using Desktop Apps Not Consistent

We have a Powerpoint File in Sharepoint 2010 that can be simultaneously edited by multiple users using the
Desktop App.   I thought this functionality was only available with the
Web App?   Does anyone know how this was enabled?  I would like to make this work for MS Excel but have never been able to make it work using the Excel Desktop App (only with the Web App).

ncAllie,
This feature is call "Co-Authoring".
Require Check Out shouldn't enabled and version turn on, with permission will allow multiple user to edit same word/ppt/one-note in their respective zone.
As per I know, excel client app don't support co-authoring(as you observed too), but OWA does
Please go through -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff718249(v=office.15).aspx
and Real-time co-authoring
in the Excel Web App: Why and how we did it
Hope it will clear some of your confusion.

  • Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

    I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
    of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
    We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication.  When clicking on an Office file they get
    'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
    The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps).  This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
     When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
    I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.  
    I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site.  When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
    servers are supported' message.  If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
    Any ideas??

    Hi Szamir,
    As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
    Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
    Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

  • Livecycle ES3 - Opening and edit rights managed MS office document in SharePoint

    As stated in the release note of LiveCycle Rights Management 9.5 Extension for Microsoft Office:
    "After opening the protected document: When you open a protected document from SharePoint Server, all permissions on the document are disabled, regardless of the policy that was applied."
    Current LC ES2/ ES2.5 does not cater the direct edit of MS office documents in SharePoint.
    Is there any news that LC ES3 will resolve this to allow direct edit on the document?
    Thanks.

    Excellent!
    Worked for me.
    I am currently using Windows 8.1 Pro  and  Office365 ProPlus.
    I got the same issue as stated by "Aki from Finland" after and decided to follow the steps outlined by "TylorWang". There were a few things I did differently due to the difference in product versions. Instead of going to the \14.0 folders,
    I went to the \15.0 folders (both in the registry and under the \AppData folder).
    I used PowerShell, running in Admin mode of course, to stop the MYOSYNC
    process with:
    kill -name msosync
    Once I was done with the three steps, I restarted my computer. Once I logged in into my account, the usual Office Upload Center cache error did not occur and my files are now syncing without any problems.
    Thank you very much "TylorWang" for your clear and precise solution and thank you TechNet for your continued support!
    Taylor.
    Edit: I also run Lync 2013 on my system.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to download content of wiki pages on SharePoint Online.
    If just for getting the text of the page, I suggest you convert page to PDF file first and then download the PDF file via a Visual Web Part as a Sandboxed solution.

  • Office 2013 vs SharePoint 2010 - Unable to check out documents to SharePoint drafts folder

    My company is foisting Office 2013 on us without upgrading SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. One of the issues I have discovered since receiving Office 2013 is that SharePoint no longer provides the option to save checked out documents to my local drafts folder.
    This is despite having Office set to save checked-out files to the server drafts location and the Office Document Cache Handler enabled in IE9. Is there a registry setting or something I can change that will re-enable this feature?

    Hi Nellie,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to re-enable the add-on Office Document Cache Handler in IE9.
    We can re-enable the add-on in IE9 using Group Policy:
    Launch the Group Policy Editor. 
    Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management > 
     Add-on List.
    Set this policy to 'Enabled'.
    In the Add-on List, add the CLSID of BHO (Browser Helper Object) (i.e.) {B4F3A835-0E21-4959-BA22-42B3008E02FF} as the ‘Value Name’ and 1 as the 'Value'.
    Log out of the machine and log back in again for the setting to take effect.

  • Issues with Office Documents in Sharepoint Foundations 2010

    We recently upgraded to Sharepoint Foundations 2010 from Sharepoint V3.0.  When I did the install of Sharepoint Foundations 2010, there was no mention of Office Web Apps in the Technet article.  Now when our users try to open a document from Sharepoint,
    then make changes and try to save back by just clicking on the "Save" button, they get an error stating that the upload failed or that the document is open in "Read Only".  After searching for a month for an answer, I believe I need
    to install Office Web Apps for Sharepoint but have yet to find an article that explains how to do it.  I've found the articles on 2013 but not 2010.  The article on 2013 asks that I do things in the Sharepoint Foundations server but when I follow
    them, the options are not there.  If anyone has any experience adding in the Office Web Apps to Sharepoint, I would sure appreciate some assistance.

    Hello,
    You should ask on the
    SharePoint forums.

  • Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
    Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
    Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
    Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
    Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
    and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
    application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
    sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files. 
    This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
    On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
    IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
    works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
    Have tried following:
    1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
    2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
    3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
    4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
    5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
    Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
    I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
    regards,
    Compter Sez No!

    Hi,
    According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
    This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
    I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
    To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
    KB943620:
    Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
    KB952167:
    Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.

  • Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

    I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document

    1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
    I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

    Hi,
    It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
    I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
    from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
    If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

  • Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

    Hello All,
    We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
    When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
    persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
    I made some tests and everything work fine with:
    Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
    Almost fine:
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
    fine.
    Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
    I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.
    Thank you,

    Hello Miikkal,
    You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
    blog and follow this
    article.
    Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
    Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
    Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system.  Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
    What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.
    Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.
