Sorry, was created using Lotus Notes R6.03.
I have fixed - it now works with Lotus Notes 5.xx

Although there is basically no documentation and minimal commenting, I was able to get a handle on how things were put together pretty quickly. I'm sure there is more to discover.
If you're looking for ways to streamline how Notes' inherent "edit in place" capability operates, this may be a good fit. There looks to be some hardcoded filenames that would need tweeking though.
One tip: When opening the document that comes with the download, right click on the Word icon on the form to activate the code. In Read mode you'll see the "View" option pop up, and in edit mode get "View, Edit, and Delete".
Bottom line: this is not quite "fully baked", but does work and would certainly help jumpstart any efforts to bring this sort of functionality to an actual application. Only works with Word, and might not work on older versions.
