InterCom: Messaging For Editors Sharing a Project
InterCom lets you exchange messages over the network. To use this service you need to assign the local
computer to a common root directory of a workgroup. This directory must be accessible for all users
intending to be part of the InterKom exchange. You may have to ask your system administrator or IT
department to set up such a directory.
The InterCom address fields lists Windows computer names, not the names of the users who are logged
in. It is a good idea to change those computer names to something more descriptive, e.g., “Edit 1” and
“Edit 2” to designate certain editing suites.
