editing Sharepoint documents

Hi All,

I've been trying to find a way to checkout and edit documents from sharepoint libraries.
I want to be able to use libreoffice on Ubuntu to edit both Microsoft and open document formats.
I am able to checkout from sharepoint but the documents open in libreoffice as readonly.

I've been trying to find plugins etc. on the internet but I always end up being directed to a page that does not exist
Anyone know how to do this.

Thanks,

Bruce Carlson.

Hi :slight_smile:
There is a video about using an alternative to Sharepoint but i think it is meant to be generic enough that it gives the rough idea for Sharepoint too.

I was lucky enough to meet the lady whose voice was used in the video but sadly she was too shy to be videoed or even photographed so i just have my failing memory to rely on :(
