Document Respository Basics

We store all church documents on our church server. The document repository is an online filing cabinet of all church documents. With the correct password you can get access to all these documents on any computer connected to the internet.

Quick editing individual files

• To put a document online, send info@vision100.org the document and we will save it in http://www.crossroadshobart.org/svn/Crossroads/. Anyone who has a login can go to this URL and see it.

• To edit it, people simply have to open up Word/Excel and:
  • Select File-Open,
  • Then type the URL above + the document name - eg <http://www.crossroadshobart.org/svn/Crossroads/Band/List.doc> - into the 'File Name' Dilog box,
  • When this is saved, it will update the online version.

• If you are using a Mac you need to:
  • Go to Applications-Terminal,
  • Type "defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true" and hit enter.

• If using Open Office, go to Tools-Options-General. Under open/save dialogs, select 'Use Open Office dialogs'.

• If using Windows XP or Vista, search Microsoft’s web site for update KB90730, “Software Update for Web Folders.” Download and install it.
