In previous versions of SharePoint, the user would be asked if they want to 'check out' when opening a document, but this no longer happens.
The problem I have is lots of links to documents stored in SharePoint, or documents linked to one another by the SharePoint web address.
Problem is, the user opens a document by clicking the web address link, but can't edit without browsing to the document library in IE and select the 'check out' option.
Is there any other way to check-out, either when opening a document, or from within Word itself?
