Normally in “Slave view” you are unable to have any control over what part of the document you are viewing or make changes in it. However, it is possible for the Master to grant you permission to edit the document. While you can edit the document, it is important to realize you are viewing a document on another's computer. You will not be able to use any of your menu commands, function key's or quick entry features such as pop-up lists of Character Names or Locations.
This feature is mainly for the purpose of editing or rewriting existing text in a collaborative type of environment. If the Slave needs to do major rewriting, it would probably be better to use the “Send Document” feature so they can have full use of their program.
You may also experience slow screen refreshes and typing rates since you are actually editing the document on the Master's computer.
A Slave can request control of the document by simply placing the mouse pointer anywhere over the document and clicking. The Master will then receive the following request.
Attention
Your partner wishes to type in the document.
This can cause problems if you both try to edit at once or if you move around in the document while your partner is trying to edit.
Allow your partner to type in the document?
Once the Master clicks Yes the Slave can now edit the document.
