Re: [office] dynamic updates

Hi Rich,

Where are you seeing dynamic updates?
 My impression was that the updates were all from the application
pulling data from the server.  I don't remember seeing anything in
ODF where the document could register for change notifications from the
database and thereby get asynchronous updates.
