R – SharePoint Server 2k7 / Office 2003 Integration problem (CT prob.)

mosssharepointtypeswss

I have a bit of problem with MOSS (uptodate under 2003 r2) and Office 2003 integration. Customer particularly wants Office 2003.

Problem

So, when you make "new" document in the document center and document template is triggered and you hit "ok". In here everything is fine.

Your doc is read and you hit "save" in Office Word 2003 and then there should be window where content type specified metadata field window – where you can enter your information, but there comes window where all CTs metadata fields are fully listed, I mean ALL listed. It supposed to list particular CT`s metafields info in a window where you can enter some data.

Project is typical "non code" implementation and we just had basic customization according to the problem.

Customizations(fully):

  • Lists
  • Content Types
  • Fields

Problem disappears when you manually modified your custom list definition( or document center def.) in SC options. Add CTs to the list or just modified the list in some way.
Or it will work when you just use default defs.

I think the problem is in the Content Types some how… Dunno why but i assume and don`t know specific

If you have some tips for this problem it would be nice you to drop out some.

Best Answer

You can look at the schema.xml and the content types before and after using SharePoint Manager 2007? Maybe it could give you a clue.
