Real time co-authoring in MS Word 2016
My experience is flaky as well, as said before the only 'good' experience seems to be when co authoring in the browser
My experience with collaboration is flaky. I suppose it works well when in the same office with a wired system, but I am in one place with one internet provider and my co-author is in another place with a different internet provider. We are using Office 365 without Sharepoint.
My connection to the internet is via Spectrum Cable. My partner is in another city and has a cable connection. Both should be fast
We do not see the changes the other has made unless we log out and back in then we see the changes. We have occasionally seen changes as they are made but not always. We do not use the online version because of limitations. We are using Word 2016--
We both get messages that the other has made changes and the message says to open the message and see a summary of changes the other has made. There are never any changes shown.
In summary, collaboration is happening, but not as advertised. I think there are things we both can learn about it, but it is not very satisfactory as is.
