Lol.. nothing wrong with silliness - It is almost Friday after all ;)

Next question (and im guessing no) is there any way to link to a part of a document if you dont have write access to it e.g. if i want to link directly to chapter 3 of the exchange deployment guide.

Now THAT would be cool.

Well, the reason I was looking into this in the first place was so that we could do this for our white papers =)

I don't know of a way to do it without write access to the target doc, but I can tell you that it's something we plan on doing sometime this year. One thing I'm not 100% sure about is if it will be done retroactively for previous whitepapers, but the main takeaway point here is that we know the massive whitepapers are a bit much to bite off at one time, and so segmenting content by chapters is where we're going from here.

And we're going to have a draft of a chapter of an upcoming whitepaper available for preview sometime in the next few weeks too, I'll link to it once it's up.

I had to do this a few years ago for a "knowledge base" for a company. The KB was a small amount of HTML/ASP that linked to PPT diagrams that worked as outlines to visually "map" the word docs. Clicking on a hotspot in the PPT needed to take you to the appropriate section of the word doc.
They needed all of this so that the completely non-technical manager could do all of the KB's content management via Word and PowerPoint via a shared network on the web server.

ah... the things people will do to keep from buying a CMS...
