Hey guys,

As you can probably tell from my last post, I'm using Jazz version control to store some documents.

However, I'm editing these documents outside of RTC since they are Word and/or text documents.

I saw some behavior that was pretty surprising.

1. A Word 2007 document gets corrupted after editing in RTC.
2. Changes to a text file made outside of RTC show up as 'unresolved' changes.

In the first case, I added a Word document to my project. I delivered the change set to my stream so there were no pending changes. I edited the document in Word and noticed that there were no pending changes. I double-clicked on the document in RTC and saw an embedded Word document. I made some changes and saved. Then there was a pending change. I delivered that and double-clicked on the Word document again. At that point I couldn't open the Word document in Word or RTC anymore.

In the second case, I added a text file to my project and delivered my change set. I then made some changes in another editor. When I looked at my pending changes, it told me that there were unresolved changes. I worked through the dialog and was able to check-in.

It struck me as being unnecessarily limited to force people to always edit in RTC. Is this the expected behavior? If it is, that is fine, I'll have to find another solution for my documents. Any background on why this is the case would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Eric.
