Integration issue with SharePoint Server 2k7 / Office 2003 (CT prob.)
I have a little problem with MOSS (uptodate in 2003 r2) and Office 2003 integration. Client especially wants Office 2003.
Problem
So when you make a "new" document in the center of the document and the document template starts up and you hit "ok". Everything is fine here.
Your document will be read and you click save in Office Word 2003 and then a window pops up that says the content type field specified in the metadata field - where you can enter your information, but a window pops up where all the metadata fields CTs fully listed, I mean ALL listed. It should display CT metaphile information in a window where you can enter some data.
The project is a typical "no-code" implementation, and we just set the baseline according to the problem.
adaptations (completely):
- Lists
- Content types
- Fields
The problem goes away when you manually change the custom list definition (or document center) in the SC options. Add CT to the list or just modify the list in some way. Or it will work when you just use the defaults.
I think the problem is in the content types somehow ... I don't know why, but I assume and I don't know the specific
If you have a few tips for this problem, it would be nice if you ditch them.

Can you view schema.xml and content types before and after using SharePoint Manager 2007 ? Perhaps this can give you a clue.

I also know the problem (not the resolution). I took schema.xml from a list that worked and checked the schema.xml and noticed that the ContentType field was added in the field schema.
The ContentType field id was pointing to the ContentType from the native WSS fieldswss.xml, but it was weird that its type had changed from Text to Choice. All the content types associated with the list were listed in the selection. I tried to add a similar field to my schema file but didn't do anything :(
I should also point out that we are not using custom document templates in our content types and that CT inherits from Document-CT. Also, we do not need to change the list settings for it to work, and also in the site settings> content types and updating our CT (only pressing OK) fixes everything. If we create a new list after CT update, the new list will not work.
