Sharing words online, via Word documents

I work collaboratively with a group of colleagues. We wish to work on a common Word document hosted online. Andy Godden

There are several online word processing systems that will enable this, as long as you don't require too much compatibility with Microsoft Word files. I think Zoho Writer is probably your best bet (writer.zoho.com), but ThinkFree, Google Docs and Adobe Buzzword are also worth a look. Microsoft's free solution is Office Live Workspace, which is based on Microsoft's SharePoint server. This is, in essence, "an online extension of Microsoft Office", and might be your best bet for large and/or complex Office documents.
