We have a lawyer who collaborates on building legal documents between their office and other non-affiliated legal offices.
They essentially email the Word document between parties, tracking changes and accepting and rejecting along the way.
However, track changes isn't quite working properly. When you accept all changes and finalize the document, often tracked changes markup remains behind.
This causes frustration.
They believe it has something to do with the offices running different versions of Word, and Google and MS tend to agree.
My Question:
Do you have any recommendations for an alternative way for them to collaboratively build these documents?
I very much doubt they would agree to using Google Docs or MS Web Apps (probably citing security concerns, at which point I would say "the way you are emailing is not secure", to which they would shrug their shoulders and that would end that line.).
