Rishi,
Yes I do understand. But for OpenMeetings, the only way you can share the "actual" document while it is being edited is via "Screen Sharing", because the only way to edit a document is in the document's actual program, e.g. Microsoft Excel document can be edited by Microsoft Excel, and by OpenMeetings screen sharing Excel from your desktop, all users can view it while you edit it. If you want other users to be able to edit the document, then allow them to remote control the shared screen. This does work quite effectively, as long as people have patience, as screen sharing is not fast, but it does work.

Hey, I think you mis-understood the mail. I want that the open office documents to be directly shared among the users in a conference and can be used for editing, marking etc without converting it into other formats like pdf and swf formats. Is it possible to do so? Or can we share live screens using openmeetings?

I believe the solution you want is "Screen Sharing" with or without enabling remote control for other users. To give people a good resolution, I recommend screen sharing from a PC that has smaller screen resolution than any of the PCs that people are using to view the shared screen, that way they can display the screen at 100% (zoom of 100), which gives great screen quality.

In openmeetings the openoffice documents are first converted into pdf and swf formats before getting dislpayed on the white board. Can we display the contents directly in the office documents form and make the changes in the files that will be visible to the other participants in the conference. -- Rishi Agarwal 3rd Year Undergraduate Department of Mathematics Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi -- Rishi Agarwal 3rd Year Undergraduate Department of Mathematics Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
