Can Word see server file from workstation???

[Diggar]

I have 3 computers on a switch running XP Pro. They all
see each other fine.

What they want is for the computer acting as the server to
hold all the Word documents in the My Documents folder.

Then have the other two systems set up so that when an
individual opens word on the wokrstations and goes to open a document it will show the My Documents folder that is on the server, thereby showing all the documents.

Someone told me about gpedit.msc but I have no clue yet how to use this.

What is the best way to set this up??

Any help appreciated.
Thanks a mill.

Maybe I'm over simplifying, but you could just map a network drive or create a shortcut on the two PC's to the shared my documents folder on the "server".

If you essentially just want all the My Docments folders pointing to the same location you can right click on each of the My Documents folders and click on Properties. From here you can change the location of the my documents. Change this to the shared location on the server. Now copy all the relevent files from the locally held My Documents folder to the folder on the server.
