Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19921
No warning when opening a document that is already open
Last modified: 2006-05-08 20:04:28 UTC
When opening a document that is already open by another user, you get no warning in OOo, and it just opens it in Read Only mode. In Word 97, a popup appears, advising that the document has already been opened by someone else and then asking if I would like to open another copy. This is the preferred method.
