Office Web Apps Launched Today

The Office Web Apps Team announced the beta launch of its free, online version of some of the component apps of Office 2010. The announcement on the MSDN Blogs includes a 20 minute interview with Chris Bryant from Office and was posted by Nick Simmons, Program Manager, Office Web Apps. It can be found here on the MSDN blog site.

The interview explains how to request an invitation to use this online service for your own Live SkyDrive. It is there, but not completely clear for a novice. A clearer explanation and short video of how to achieve this is available in the article, Get Access to Web-based Microsoft Office Apps Now! which is available on the Digital Inspiration web site and clearly outlines the procedure for requesting Office Web Apps.

Yes. I'm selfish enough that I made my request and was approved before writing this post. I don't know if there are currently different versions but Word, Excel, Power Point, and OneNote appear to be included on my SkyDrive. I haven't played with it yet, so I'm off to explore.

Peace, Doc

	PsychologistCynical发表: @ Steve. Just click "more" on your header options and a dropdown menu will let you choose SkyDrive, Events, Calendar, Groups, and other stuff, including a "secret" entryway into Spaces. SkyDrive is essentially your work and storage space for folders of music, photos, online workspace, and the like. The new MSFT business option is named Web Apps and lets you use Word, Excel, etc. in Office 2010. It works with software on your computer even without the invitation (in Office 2003 or 2007), but to get the Office 2010 version which is free online, you had to be fast. MSFT plans on giving it away to all when they get Office 2010 released. Peace, Doc 9 月 26 日
