Microsoft Office Online

[DragonFire]

I know a lot of people are going to know about this, but have passed this information on a few times, so have decided to open a thread with the link.

 

Basically, Office Online allows you to store all your MS Word files online, where you can access them whether you are at home or work. Even if your PC crashes, you will never lose your files. Plus you can share with an editor rather than e-mailing files backwards and forwards.....and it

I couldn't tell from the link (it only had options for starting, and no information about what the prerequisites are) -- can you use if you don't have Office? I'm not interesting in spending money on MS Office just to get this feature.

Sorry, have now put a link up there for the Office Online information page. But to answer your question it only works with MS Office applications.

No Graeme, you can't. You need to have Office 2007 installed along with the Office 2007 Live Sign-in Assistant.

 

And I agree with you on the spending money part. I would much rather prefer Google Docs, which is free. But, since I already have Office 2007, I can't complain, can I?

P.S

I am using this feature to edit for DragonFire and am finding it pretty useful. So, yes, I endorse this method of working with editors/authors...
