Since I will be traveling and working on a few documents that will be both in my laptop and desktop at home, it should work out ok because I can just replace the older. But today I ended up somehow working on a doc and having part of one with new notes and part on the laptop with other new notes. I renamed the laptop file by adding a 2 and consolidated.
I guess that's what I meant rather than syncing: consolidating. Probably not possible to do except manually. Will just have to be careful to work on docs in only one pc.
