Forcing the File > Save Command to Always Update the Server Copy of a Document
The default behavior for the integrated File > Save command in Office applications is to only save the changes locally, to the copy of the document in your ProjectWise working directory. Changes are only saved to ProjectWise when you check in or update the server copy of the document.
If necessary, there is a registry key you can set to override this default behavior in each Office application, that will force the server copy of a document to be updated every time you select File > Save in the integrated Office application.
To Override the Default Integrated Behavior for Saving Documents Within a Particular Office Application
