Office Live Add-in

Office Live Add-in is a free download from Microsoft, that makes Office Live Workspace really come alive. Let me explain.

Office Live Workspace on it’s own is a very useful tool. For instance, the 5GB of free storage space can be used as a backup for important files. The browser preview of Office documents allows full fidelity viewing of those files from any internet connected computer, even if Microsoft Office is not installed.

Personally, I find this very useful for viewing content whilst travelling for business or pleasure. It really reduces the need to carry a laptop everywhere.

However, Office Live Workspace really comes alive when the add-in for Office is installed. This small download facilitates the opening, editing and saving of documents from Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The Office Live Add-in works with Office 2007, 2003 and XP, meaning you can open files directly from Office Live and then save them back to Office Live. This effectively allows you to use Office Live Workspace as an extra 5GB of disk space that is accessible from anywhere, with the ability to invite others in to view and comment on files.

Microsoft Rocks with Microsoft Office Live!

Microsoft Office Live is a set of Internet-based services designed for consumers and small businesses interested in storing and sharing documents online or creating a website.

As of 2009, it consists of two services, Office Live Workspace and Office Live Small Business. Office Live may be Microsoft's answer to Google Docs.

Have you ever arrived at work only to realize you left your thumb drive with your revised presentation at home? Or have you ever wondered if the documents you received through an email is the most current? Have there been changes?

Work can be very frustrating when were not all on the same page, so to speak. Wouldn’t it be nice to have access to your documents from any computer in the world? As well as sharing files with friends and workmates, in a way that everyone has the most recent version?

Well Microsoft has done it again with Office Live Workspace and Office Live Small Business. Microsoft gives you the following:

• 5 Gigabytes of storage on the web completely free of cost


• You can store and share your documents


• Works with Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007


• View, edit, share documents with password protection


• You can create a very good looking Web Site completely free, and hosted by Microsoft.

Now tell me if that's not totally awesome!!
