Ta Da!!! The final installment. The following is Part 7 of my series “Seven New SharePoint 2007 Document Management Features”. I think this feature is the most significant and most powerful new document management feature of SharePoint 2007. The next new document management feature is:
Content Types: Using content types provides a way to standardize these characteristics across different libraries and sites throughout an organization and provides a way to categorize content in a standard manner. Content Types, a new addition to Windows SharePoint Services 2007, allow you to pre-define metadata boilerplates so that all newly-created documents of a given type automatically have appropriate metadata and business rules such as workflow, resulting actions, expiration, and other policies. Based on the selected content type, the metadata properties are already present in the new document.
For example, you can create a pre-made Proposal content type that captures relevant attributes (such as customer, product type, and salesperson) for each sales proposal. Finding documents is much easier thanks to the abundance of metadata. For example, in the case of Proposals, you can easily search and retrieve all Proposals associated with a specific product type, salesperson, or date.
The following MSDN article describes Content Types in more detail: Content Type Settings and Site Columns .

is it possible to edit portion of the document in SPS 2007 only by certain users ?
Smitha,
Restricting the editing to a portion of a document is not a feature of SharePoint per se. This is something that is supported by Word 2007. The following is the instructions from Word 2007 that describes how to restrict portions of a word document.
Thank You
Hi,
Is is possible to create content types that are only editable by users in the Marketing-A group and another content types that can only be edited by Marketing-B group?
If so, I can’t find this type of item level access?
thanks in advance,

Hi, if you are interested in document and email management for SharePoint, we specialise in this and provide a tool that you can drag and drop emails from Outlook into SharePoint, view and access SharePoint without leaving Outlook, automatically have emails sent to SharePoint and easily save Documents from Word. Emails are automatically profiled with their columns fields (ie. Date received, sent etc) and the “Save to SharePoint” button which we add to Word makes it easy to find your document folder or site with 1 simple search. If you would like to know more please email me at Mark.Davis@nsynergy.com
We just moved to Sharepoint 2007 and we are wondering about multiple uploads, we would like to classify each document differently but still upload at the same time, can this be done??.
For instance if we upload 3 documents, one is Classified, Unclassified and UFOU????
