Thanks Peter, and Rick.
We could certainly do that (give the manager RH 6 and later
absorb the temps' copies), but upgrading right now would involve a
lot of testing and tweaking of settings that we do not currently
have the time to do. (Upgrades to our software often cause ripple
effects into other areas of our workflow.) Also, the person
managing the temps is part of our permanent staff of ~ 18 people,
and we all share work on occasion, so it's not ideal for us to be
on different versions (although we realize that at some point we
will have to upgrade.)
Rick, would you care to elaborate on the "careful and
reasonably strict coordination," or point me to a site that
discusses this in detail? For the permanent staff, this might be
feasible; but with folks who are only with us a few weeks a year
and follow checklists for the processes, it might be more work than
it's worth to try to cross versions. We will have to decide that.
Thanks very much to both of you for responding.
