Anywhere Access

Problem: “I have to remember to email documents to myself or put them on a flash drive so that I can work in different places.”

Solution: With Office Live Workspace you no longer need flash drives or to email documents to yourself or collaborators

•Access and view your Microsoft Office files from almost any computer with a Web browser, whether or not it has Office installed •Save thousands of Microsoft Office documents in one place (up to 5GB of storage)•Organize your files, lists, and notes by project or assignment•Create lists (task list, guest list, wish list, etc.)•Write notes and access them from almost any computer

Share with Others

Problem: “It's confusing to have multiple versions of a document floating around when you work with other people.”

Solution: You no longer have to spend time manually merging different versions of a document from multiple people. With Microsoft Office Live Workspace, everyone can make their changes directly in one online copy of the document.

•You control who can view, comment on or edit your documents•You manage permissions and decide whether someone has access to a single document or an entire workspace •You can share with people who can’t access your corporate network•Your files have advanced virus protection from Microsoft Forefront Client Security technology, and they can only be accessed with a Windows Live ID and password

Easy-to-Use Extension to Programs You KnowProblem: “It’s frustrating when computer programs don’t work together and learning new programs is time consuming.”

Solution: You don’t have to change the way you work. Microsoft Office Live Workspace works seamlessly with the programs you already know and use – like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

•Open and save files directly from Microsoft Office XP, 2003, or 2007•Export any Workspace list to Excel•Synchronize Contact, Task, and Event Lists with Outlook 2003 and 2007 Note: The above features require the download of the Microsoft Office Live Add-in.
