Office Web Apps give you a superior viewing experience using the familiar Office interface. You'll also enjoy increased storage space. For a full comparison, see What is Windows Live SkyDrive?

Top of Page

How do I upgrade now?

When you sign in to Office Live Workspace, and the upgrade banner appears at the top of the screen, you can start the upgrade process immediately by clicking Upgrade now

Top of Page

How long does the upgrade take?

The time it takes to move your documents varies, depending on the number and size of documents moving to Windows Live SkyDrive, and on the number ofpeople upgrading at the same time. But for most people it takes fewer than 30 minutes.

Top of Page

Can I choose not to upgrade?

If you do not choose to upgrade when the upgrade banner appears at the top of your Office Live Workspace screen, the Office Live Workspace team will schedule your account to be upgraded and send you an e-mail message telling you when your documents will be moved. If you do not want to be upgraded, you can remove your documents and cancel your Office Live Workspace service.

Top of Page

Why don't I see an upgrade banner?

The upgrade banner appears at the top of the Office Live Workspace screen when your account is eligible for the upgrade. Keep in mind that:

Not all users will be upgraded at the same time. The Office Live Workspace team uses a schedule to control the number of people whose documents and workspaces are moved at any given time.
Because Windows Live SkyDrive is not available in some languages, or countries and regions, there are some accounts that cannot be upgraded.

If you access your documents through the Office Live Add-in for Office, and you do not use the Office Live Workspace Web site, you won't see the upgrade banner. See If I use the Office Live Add-in for Office, will my account also be upgraded? later in this document.

Top of Page

Will all of my documents and workspaces be moved?

Yes. However, some features are different in Windows Live SkyDrive, and this affects how your documents are organized and formatted. For example, workspaces become folders in Windows Live SkyDrive, Lists are converted to Excel 2007 .xlsx documents, and Notes are converted to Word 2007 .docx documents. For more information, see Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive.

Top of Page

Can I share my documents like I did before the upgrade?

Yes. However, if you want to share documents with someone who hasn’t been upgraded yet, the process is a little different until they are upgraded too. For more information, see Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive.

Top of Page

Why is my document read-only?

A document is marked as read-only while it is being moved to Windows Live SkyDrive. When the upgrade is complete, you are able to edit the document in Windows Live SkyDrive.

Top of Page

Can I still use Office Live Workspace after the upgrade?

No. After the upgrade, your account will work in Windows Live SkyDrive, but not in Office Live Workspace. For a comparison of the features in the two products, and all of the benefits of Windows Live SkyDrive, see What is Windows Live SkyDrive?. For information about how your workspaces and documents are moved, see Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive.

Top of Page

If I use the Office Live Add-in for Office, will my account also be upgraded?

Top of Page

After the upgrade, can I still use the Office Live Add-in to access and save my documents directly from Office programs?

After your documents are moved to Windows Live SkyDrive, you can only use the Office Web Apps instead of the Office Live Add-in. If you use the Office Live Add-in, after everyone you share with has been upgraded, if you close the Add-in and then reopen it, the menu options for the Office Live Add-in automatically disappear from your Office programs. For more information about the Office Web Apps, see What is Windows Live SkyDrive?. For information about how to use the latest Office Live Add-in before and during the upgrade, see Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive.

After the upgrade, can I still use the Microsoft Document Connection for Mac to access and save my documents directly from Mac Office programs?

After your documents are moved to Windows Live SkyDrive, you can only use the Office Web Apps instead of the Document Connection for Mac. The Document Connection for Mac option will still appear on the Dock, but it will not show any of your documents or workspaces. For more information about the Office Web Apps, see What is Windows Live SkyDrive?. For information about how to use the latest Office Live Add-in before and during the upgrade, see Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive.

Top of Page

What do I do if my upgrade fails?

If your upgrade fails, try one of these options:

If the upgrade fails, you will receive an e-mail message telling you to contact support for help. The workspaces or documents that were not moved to Windows Live SkyDrive can still be viewed on the Office Live Workspace.
If you have a Windows Live SkyDrive account, and you have already used up most of the space available for your account, when you upgrade from Office Live Workspace to Windows Live SkyDrive, a message may appear telling you that you need to delete some documents in order for the upgrade to complete. You must then contact support to restart the upgrade.
If there are problems with the upgrade, or if you have many documents on Office Live Workspace, you may receive a message that it will take longer for your documents to be moved.
Files larger than 10 MB may fail to migrate. You may be asked to manually transfer these large files to Windows Live SkyDrive.

Upgrade to Windows Live SkyDrive

bri — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:52:15 GMT

Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta is becoming Windows Live SkyDrive, the document experience in Windows Live. You can continue to use features from Office Live Workspace, but you'll also get new benefits, including:

Access and share documents and photos from virtually anywhere
Up to 25 GB of online storage
View and edit documents using Microsoft Office Web Apps

NOTE An appropriate device, Internet connection, and Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari browser are required.

For more information about the new service, see What is Windows Live SkyDrive?

All of your Office Live Workspace documents will be moved for you automatically, and when the upgrade is complete you can continue to share and edit them. In addition, you can take advantage of the new features, such as the ability to edit documents online.

To start the upgrade process immediately, simply click Upgrade now when the upgrade banner appears at the top of your screen in Office Live Workspace. If you choose not to upgrade when the banner appears, the Office Live Workspace team will schedule your account to be upgraded later, and will notify you by e-mail before it happens.

Some people prefer to use the Microsoft Office Live Add-in for Office, and save Office Word, Office Excel, and Office PowerPoint documents directly from the Office program to Office Live Workspace. If that is the case for you, your documents and workspaces will also be moved in the upgrade. When you receive an e-mail message notifying you when your account will be upgraded, you can sign in to Office Live Workspace and click Upgrade now in the upgrade banner to start the upgrade immediately. If you do not want to upgrade immediately, your account will be upgraded for you automatically later. In addition, when you install the Office Live Update and edit or share your documents, a message appears on your screen when the upgrade is underway.

During the upgrade process

The amount of time it takes to move your documents and workspaces varies, but for most people, it takes less than 30 minutes.

While your documents are being moved from Office Live Workspace to Windows Live SkyDrive, you can view your documents, but you cannot edit or share them. If you or the people that you share with try to edit the documents on Office Live Workspace during this time, a message appears to notify the person that the upgrade is in progress. If you must edit a document during the upgrade, you can save a copy to your computer, work on it there, and then later move it to Windows Live SkyDrive by hand, but the changes will not be moved or shared automatically.

If you use the Office Live Add-in for Office or the Microsoft Document Connection for Mac, during the upgrade you will be unable to see your workspaces or documents listed under My Workspace when you select the Office Live Workspace menu options from Microsoft Office programs. To do so, you must sign in to Office Live Workspace, where your documents will be available for viewing but not editing until the upgrade is complete.

Top of Page

After the upgrade is complete

All of your Office Live Workspace documents will be moved, but because Windows Live SkyDrive has different features, you will notice some differences in how the documents appear and are organized.

Office Live Workspace Feature	Change in Windows Live SkyDrive
Workspaces	Each Office Live Workspace is a top-level folder in Windows Live SkyDrive.
Shared files	Each shared file is a folder in Windows Live SkyDrive. If you selected Let everyone view this without signing in when you shared a document or workspace in Office Live Workspace, you will need to manually set the same permissions level in Windows Live SkyDrive.
Unshared files	All of your unshared files are grouped in the Office Live Documents folder in Windows Live SkyDrive.
Lists	Lists are converted to Microsoft Office Excel 2007 .xlsx documents. If you do not have Microsoft Office installed, you can view and edit these documents with Microsoft Office Web Apps.
Notes	Notes are converted to the Microsoft Office Word 2007 .docx document format. Formatting is preserved. If you do not have Microsoft Office installed, you can view and edit these documents with Microsoft Office Web Apps.
Comments	Comments are grouped in comment feeds by owner. The commenting users' names are preserved as part of the comments.
Versions	If you manually created versions of a document, each of those versions is moved to Windows Live SkyDrive. Automatically generated versions are not moved.
Permissions	Permissions in Windows Live SkyDrive are set on folders, not documents. Sharing permissions that you set in Office LIve Workspace automatically migrate to Windows Live SkyDrive, except in one case. If you selected Let everyone view this without signing in when you shared a document or workspace in Office Live Workspace, you will need to manually set the same permissions level on folders in Windows Live SkyDrive. When you give a folder Public permission in Windows Live SkyDrive, that folder will be searchable on the Internet.
Storage	Windows Live SkyDrive gives you 25 GB of storage instead of the 5 GB you had in Office Live Workspace. However, if you already have a Windows Live SkyDrive account and have used most of the storage space, you may be notified during the upgrade that you must delete documents or photos in SkyDrive in order to continue.
Office Live Add-in for Office	After the upgrade, you can access your documents in Windows Live SkyDrive. You can also use the Office Web Apps to edit as well as view your documents online. If you have shared a workspace with someone who has not yet been upgraded to Windows Live SkyDrive, you will be able to access the shared workspace through the menu options in Microsoft Office programs. After the shared workspace is moved to Windows Live SkyDrive, you can use Windows Live SkyDrive or the Office Web Apps to access the shared workspace.
Other	The following are not moved to Windows Live SkyDrive: Activity pane Deleted items in the Deleted Items workspace Automatically generated versioned documents

Top of Page

Sharing during the upgrade

Not everyone will be upgraded to Windows Live SkyDrive on the same day, so it may happen that you are sharing a document with someone who hasn't been upgraded yet. After the upgrade, all of your documents will be on Windows Live SkyDrive and you can continue to share them. If you want to share and edit documents before you or all of the people that you share with have been upgraded, the following behavior occurs:

If you have been upgraded...	And you share a document with someone who...	Then…
And own a document that is shared with someone who	Has not been upgraded	You will access the document through Windows Live SkyDrive. When the person you share with tries to access the document on Office Live Workspace, that person is linked to Windows Live SkyDrive to view your document.
And you want to edit a document owned by someone who	Has not been upgraded	You will access the document on Office Live Workspace until the person you share with is also upgraded.
And you share a document with someone who	Has been upgraded	You will both use Windows Live SkyDrive to access the shared document.
If you have not been upgraded...	And you share a document with someone who...	Then…
And you want to edit a document owned by someone who	Has been upgraded	When you try to access the document on Office Live Workspace, you'll be linked to Windows Live SkyDrive.
And you own a document that is shared with someone who	Has been upgraded	Both you and the person you share with will access the document on Office Live Workspace until you are upgraded.
And you share a document with someone who	Has not been upgraded	You will both use Office Live Workspace to access and share the document, until one or both of you are upgraded.

If you use the Office Live Add-in for Office…	And you share a document with someone who…	Then...
And you have been upgraded	Has also been upgraded	You will both use Windows Live SkyDrive and the Office Web Apps to access your shared documents.
And you have been upgraded	Has not yet been upgraded	You will use the Office Live Add-in to access any documents that are owned by the person you share with until that account is also upgraded.
And you have not been upgraded	Has been upgraded	You can still use the Office Live Add-in to access documents until your account is also upgraded. The person you share with must access the shared document in Office Live Workspace until you are upgraded to Windows Live SkyDrive.
And you have not been upgraded	Has not yet been upgraded	You will both use the Office Live Add-in and Office Live Workspace to access documents until one or both of you are upgraded.

When will my Office Live Workspace move to Windows Live SkyDrive?

What if I already have an account in SkyDrive, will the upgrade move to my files to the account I already have?

Should I move all of the documents on my Office Live Workspace to SkyDrive now?

Top of Page

When will my Office Live Workspace move to Windows Live SkyDrive?

Microsoft Office Live Workspace will become a part of an enhanced, free Windows Live SkyDrive service. In the coming months, we will notify customers when this new experience is available in their market and give them the opportunity to opt in when it is convenient for them to do so. To opt in, customers will be invited to click a button within their Office Live Workspace indicating that they would like to initiate the upgrade. The process of moving all documents, lists and notes, and sharing permissions will be automated.

Eventually, customers that do not take advantage of the opt-in period will be moved automatically to Windows Live SkyDrive and will be notified by several e-mails before and after the move.

Top of Page

What if I already have an account in SkyDrive, will the upgrade move to my files to the account I already have?

Yes. If you use the same Windows Live ID to sign into SkyDrive as you do to sign into Office Live Workspace, your documents will be moved into the same account. If you use a different Windows Live ID for SkyDrive, the upgrade process will move your Office Live Workspace documents into a new SkyDrive account using the same Windows Live ID you used for Office Live Workspace. Either way, your documents will always be accessible.

Top of Page

Should I move all of the documents on my Office Live Workspace to SkyDrive now?

No, we recommend that you wait until you are notified that the opt-in is available so that you can take advantage of the automated process - which will move all of your documents and workspaces and retain the sharing permissions you may have assigned to them.

Top of Page

Will the Office Live Add-In, which allows me to save and open files from Office Live Workspace, work with SkyDrive?

No. The Office Live Add-In is not compatible with SkyDrive. However, you can save Office 2010 Beta documents directly to SkyDrive. In Office 2010 Beta programs, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you click "File," then "Share," and then "Save to SkyDrive." This functionality will also exist in the released version of Office 2010 in June.

Top of Page

Will I need to install Microsoft Office 2010 in order to use the Office Web Apps on SkyDrive?

Currently, the Office Web Apps are in Technical Preview and are available to all Office 2010 beta users. You can get the Office 2010 Beta at http://www.office.com/beta. Office Live Workspace customers who have migrated to Windows Live SkyDrive will also be able to use the Office Web Apps regardless of the Office version they have installed on their computer.

Top of Page

What will happen to my Office Live Small Business Web site with the upgrade of Office Live Workspace to Windows Live SkyDrive?

Your Office Live Small Business account and Web site will not be affected by the upgrade of Office Live Workspace to Windows Live SkyDrive. Please continue to log in to the Office Live Small Business service as you normally would.

Getting started with Office Live Workspace

AJ — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:31:52 GMT

Getting started with Office Live Workspace

Microsoft Office Live Workspace makes it easy for you to organize, manage, and share documents, notes, spreadsheets, presentations, contacts, to-do lists, and more.

Use a workspace to collect and share key documents for the next meeting of your school's parent-teacher association. Or create a workspace that acts as an information hub for the members of your sales team located in different states. A workspace can simplify your work, home, or social life. It takes just a few clicks to create a new workspace to start managing your documents.

Create a new workspace

You can either start with a blank workspace that you customize to meet your needs, or you can choose a workspace that already contains helpful documents, notes, lists, and spreadsheets that are all geared for a specific purpose.

To create a new workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click New Workspace.
In the Create a new workspace dialog box, choose one of the following workspaces:
- Blank workspace Customize this empty workspace by adding your own documents, workspaces, notes, and lists.
- Class Workspace Organize your class materials, notes, and assignments.
- Essay Workspace Track and manage everything you need to plan and write a term paper or thesis.
- Event Workspace Plan a successful event at home or at work.
- Household Workspace Create budgets, assign tasks, and share information with family members or housemates.
- Job Search Workspace Organize your job search information and job applications, and prepare for interviews.
- Meeting Workspace Improve meeting productivity with a contact list, a meeting agenda, and brainstorming notes.
- Project Workspace Plan and manage a project for work, home, or school.
- School Workspace Organize all of your school information.
- Sports Team Workspace Share sports team information with players, parents, and fans.
- Study Group Workspace Organize and manage your school study group or team project.
- Travel Workspace Organize and plan a business trip or vacation.

To learn how to make changes to your workspace and arrange documents to meet your needs, see Organize your documents and workspaces. When you are satisfied with your workspace, you can share it with the people who will find it most valuable. To learn more about sharing workspaces, see Share workspaces and documents using Office Live Workspace.

After you have created a workspace, Office Live Workspace provides a direct link to the workspace that you can bookmark for easy access, share with other people, or use to work with multiple workspaces at the same time. You can save the link to any of your workspaces or to a document in those workspaces in your browser's Favorites list. For more information about direct links, see Manage and share links to workspaces and documents.

Delete a workspace

Over time, you may find that you need to delete a workspace to free up more storage space.

Note : Only the owner of a workspace can delete its contents. Those who have Editor or Viewer sharing access to to the workspace can remove it from view, but they cannot permanently delete it.

To delete a workspace, in Office Live Workspace, do one of the following:

On the left navigation bar, place your cursor over the name of the workspace that you want to delete. In the menu that appears, click Delete.
On the left navigation bar, click My Workspaces. Select the check box next to the workspace that you want to delete, and then on the toolbar, click Delete.

The workspace is sent to the Deleted Items workspace.

Restore a deleted workspace

If you delete a workspace and later change your mind, you can easily restore the workspace. Anything that you delete is stored in the Deleted Items workspace for 30 days before it is permanently removed from your site.

To restore a workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click Deleted Items.
In the Deleted Items workspace, select the check box next to the workspace that you'd like to restore.
On the toolbar, click Restore
.
The restored workspace appears under My Workspaces on the left navigation bar.

Track workspace activity

Office Live Workspace makes it easy to keep up to date on activity in your workspaces. When you open a workspace, the Activity pane on the right side of the page shows you recent workspace activity, such as the date and time someone added a new document or starts sharing the workspace. Additionally, Office Live Workspace gives you the option to receive activity updates by e-mail.

For more information, see Manage your workspaces using the Activity pane.

Organize your documents and workspaces

GreenKaz — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 02:37:42 GMT

When you first open Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta, you'll notice that your site is organized into five top-level workspaces on the left navigation bar. Each of these workspaces can help you organize your documents, notes, spreadsheets, presentations, and lists — any information that is important to your business, friends, or family.

Read on to learn how to arrange your documents and workspaces to better meet your needs.

Choose a workspace

Office Live Workspace provides the following workspaces:

My Workspaces Create workspaces that contain collections of documents with a common theme. You can create a workspace containing promotional materials that your sales team can access from any computer with an Internet connection. Or you may create a workspace containing a trip itinerary, packing lists, and other documents that can help you and your friends or family plan for an upcoming vacation.

Note : You can share the entire workspace and all of its contents with the people you choose. If you need to share only a single document from a workspace, you must first move the document to the Documents workspace before sharing it.

To move documents between folders/workspaces:

Click the checkbox to the left of workspace document to move and click the Cut button above the folder.

Next choose the Documents workspace on the left navigation bar by clicking the name.

Finally, click the Paste button at the top of the Documents folder.

Documents Quickly store important documents to a location that offers easy access to you and the people you select. For easier viewing, you can sort your documents by title, by last revision date, or by size. Hovering your cursor over the name of each document launches a handy menu that lists commands giving you one-click management of your documents.
Shared with Me When you accept an invitation from another Office Live Workspace owner to share a workspace, that workspace name appears on the left navigation bar, beneath Shared with Me.
Documents When you accept an invitation to share an individual document, such as an Office Word document, a note, or a list, from another Office Live Workspace owner, that document name appears on the left navigation bar beneath Documents.

The Shared with Me and Documents workspaces make it easy for you to see the at-a-glance status of your shared workspaces and documents.

Deleted Items It's easy to delete workspaces and documents that no longer serve a purpose. But if you delete anything from your workspaces and later change your mind, you can easily restore anything that you deleted from the Deleted Items workspace. Deleted items can be restored for 30 days before they are permanently removed from your site. For more information, see Create, delete, or restore a workspace.

Create folders to organize workspaces and documents

Over time, your list of workspaces and documents may become extensive. One way to keep your workspaces organized is to use folders. You can create a folder to organize workspaces with a similar theme, or you can create folders within a workspace to organize your documents.

Note : You cannot create a list in a folder or move a list from a workspace to a folder.

To create a new folder, on the actions bar, click New . Then click Folder.

Office Live Workspace lets you create up to six levels of folders. To help you navigate through your folders, use the handy breadcrumbs at the top of the workspace.

Cut, copy, and paste documents

You can move or copy documents into another workspace or folder.

Notes :

In a shared workspace, the Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons are not available unless you are the Owner of the workspace.
You cannot move or copy a list to a folder.

In a workspace or folder, select the check box next to the document name, then do one of the following:
- To move the document to another location, on the actions bar, click Cut.
- To copy the document to another location, on the actions bar, click Copy .
Open the workspace or folder where you want to move or copy the document. On the actions bar, click Paste.

Use one-click options

When you place your cursor over the name of a document or workspace, a menu appears that identifies the owner and sharing status. The menu also provides one-click commands to make it easier to manage your content.

When you hover your cursor over a workspace name, a menu appears with the following options:

Open Launch a workspace.
Share Allow others to review or change your workspace.
Rename Change the name of your workspace.
Hide Remove the workspace from view on the left navigation bar. For more information, see Hide a workspace from view in this article.
Delete Send the contents of the workspace to the Deleted Items workspace, where it remains for 30 days until it is permanently deleted.

Hovering your cursor over a document name opens a menu with the following options:

View Read a document in a Web-page format.
Open in... Open your document in Office Excel, Word, or PowerPoint.
Rename Change the name of your document.

Hide a workspace from view

By default, when you create a new workspace, it automatically appears on the left navigation bar under My Workspaces. When you accept an invitation to share a workspace from another owner, the shared workspace automatically appears under Shared with Me on the left navigation bar.

Keep your list of workspaces manageable by using the Hide feature so that only your most important workspaces appear on the left navigation bar.

To remove a workspace from view:

On the left navigation bar, place your cursor over the workspace that you want to remove from view on the left navigation bar.
In the menu that appears, click Hide. The workspace no longer appears on the left navigation bar.

Keep in mind that this action only removes the workspace from view, it does not delete it. If you chose to hide an item under My Workspaces, you can still access it by clicking My Workspaces on the left navigation bar. Likewise, if your item was under Shared with Me, you can click Shared with Me on the left navigation bar to view the item.

To restore a workspace to the left navigation bar:

On the left navigation bar, click My Workspaces or Shared with Me.
Select the check box next to the workspace that you want to make visible.
On the toolbar, click Show.

The workspace appears on the left navigation bar.

Track your workspace activity

Another way to stay organized is to track changes made to your workspaces or documents. To view all activity on a workspace or document, including when revisions are made or when someone adds a comment, open a workspace or document. The Activity pane appears on the right, listing the date and time of each type of change made to the workspace or document. For more information, see Manage your workspaces with the Activity pane.

Manage your workspaces using the Activity pane

MonteEnbysk1 -MSFT — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:57:21 GMT

Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta makes it easy to collaborate with others and to manage your projects by keeping you up to date on activity in your workspaces.

When you open a workspace, the Activity pane on the right side automatically shows you recent workspace activity, such as when someone changes a document or shares a workspace.

When you open a document in your workspace, the Activity pane displays recent activity for that document. Additionally, Office Live Workspace gives you the option to receive activity updates by e-mail.

Note : The Activity pane only appears if you are signed in to Office Live Workspace.

Review workspace activity

The Activity pane is available for any workspace or document that you created or that has been shared with you, except for those items located in the Deleted Items workspace. An entry is added to the Activity pane each time you or people you share with does one of the following:

Create, modify, or delete a workspace, folder, or document
Add or remove a document from a workspace or folder
Add a comment to a workspace or to a document in the workspace
Save a new version of a document
Restore an older version of a document
Begin or end sharing by the workspace or document owner
Rename a workspace, folder, or document
Change a description for a workspace or document

To review the activity in any of your workspaces:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace for which you want to review activity.
When the workspace opens, the Activity pane appears on the right side of the screen in collapsed view. At the top of the Activity pane, click Expand to view a wider version of activity tasks.

Note : If the Activity pane is not visible, on the toolbar, click Activity to open the pane. When the Activity pane is open, clicking the Activity button closes the pane.
When any document is added or edited, the related entry in the Activity pane contains a hyperlink to the document. Click the name of the document where it appears in the Activity pane to open that item.

Review activity for a specific document

After a new document is created or added to the workspace, you can view activity for that document, including the date and time that the item was created, added, or edited, and when comments were added to that document. Up to 100 of the most recent actions appear in the Activity pane.

Note : Although there is no Activity pane for the default Documents workspace or the Documents workspace under Shared with Me on the left navigation bar, an Activity pane is available for each document that is stored in those workspaces.

To review activity for an individual document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the workspace that contains the document you want to view.
In the workspace, click the document for which you want to view activity.
When the document opens for viewing, on the toolbar, click Activity to open the Activity pane in collapsed view on the right side of the screen.
At the top of the Activity pane, click Expand to view a wider version of activity tasks. To close the Activity pane, on the toolbar, click Activity.

Manage e-mail notifications

Office Live Workspace automatically notifies you by e-mail about activity in your workspaces. An e-mail message is sent notifying you each time one of the following events occurs:

A document is created, added, or edited
A comment is added to the workspace or document
A workspace is renamed

Office Live Workspace sends you an activity e-mail message the first time that a change occurs in a workspace since your last visit to that workspace. After you receive an activity e-mail message, you will not receive another for the same workspace until after the next time that you visit that workspace.

Stop receiving e-mail notifications

To stop receiving activity e-mail messages for all workspaces and documents on Office Live Workspace, do one of the following:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of any workspace. At the bottom of the Activity pane for the workspace, clear the Send me activity e-mails check box.
At the bottom of an activity e-mail message, click Stop all activity e-mails. When prompted, provide your e-mail address and password.

Note : If you discontinue activity e-mail notifications, you will still receive e-mail newsletters from the Office Live Workspace team alerting you to special promotions, new features, and tips for using your workspace more effectively.

Enable e-mail notifications

By default, e-mail notifications are enabled when you subscribe to Office Live Workspace. However, if you turn off notifications and then later want to enable them again, select the option Send me activity e-mails at the bottom of any Activity pane while you are signed in to Office Live Workspace.

Connect your list to Outlook

KanishkaMuntazir — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 06:40:52 GMT

In Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta, you can use the Contact List, Event List, and Task List to collect important information for your school, work, or home projects. If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on your computer, you can then transfer your list to Microsoft Office Outlook, where the list content appears in its own folder. There is no need to update the two lists separately; any time you make changes to your list in Office Live Workspace, the same updates appear in your list folder in Office Outlook.

This article explains how to transfer the contents of a Contact List, Event List, and Task List to Office Outlook. For information about how to use folders in Office Outlook, see Office Outlook Help.

Open a list

To create a new list:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click a workspace to open it.
On the toolbar, click New, and in the drop-down menu, select the type of list that you want to create.

Note : You can create a list in a workspace, but you cannot create a list in a folder.

To open an existing list:

In Office Live Workspace, use the left navigation bar to navigate to the workspace containing the list that you want to modify, and then click the name of the list.

Connect to Outlook

To transfer a list to Office Outlook, you must have one of the following browser and operating system combinations installed on your computer:

Browser	Operating System
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or Windows Internet Explorer 7	Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista
Mozilla Firefox	Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X 10.2.x and later

You must have Microsoft Office 2003 or the 2007 Office system installed on your computer to connect your list to Office Outlook. If you use Microsoft Office 2003, you can transfer the contents from Contact Lists and Event Lists, but not Task Lists, to Office Outlook. If you use the 2007 Office system, you can transfer the contents from all lists — Contact Lists, Event Lists, and Task Lists — to Office Outlook.

To add the contents of a list directly to a folder in Office Outlook:

In Office Live Workspace, click the list that you want to export to Office Outlook.
On the Office Live Workspace toolbar, click either Connect to Outlook or Connect to Client.
If you receive a security warning, click Yes.
When prompted, type the e-mail address and password associated with your Office Live Workspace account. Clear the check box next to Sign me in automatically. Click OK.

Your list from Office Live Workspace now appears in a folder in Office Outlook:

Contents from a Contact List appear in a new contacts folder.
Contents from an Event List appear in a new calendar folder.
Contents from the Task List appear in a new task list folder.

Note : Only the content from the default columns in your Contact List, Event List, and Task List can be transferred to the Outlook folder. Content from any additional columns that you have added to these lists does not appear in your Outlook folder.

When you make changes to your list in Office Live Workspace, the same changes appear in your list folder in Office Outlook. If you use Office 2003, you cannot make changes to the list content in your Office Outlook folder. If you use the 2007 Office system, however, you can update your list folder in Office Outlook, and if your computer is connected to the Internet, the updates automatically appear in your list in Office Live Workspace.

Troubleshoot

List contents do not appear in an Outlook folder

If you create a list folder in Office Outlook, but you receive the message "You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder" when you try to view the list folder, do the following:

In Office Live Workspace, click Sign Out in the upper-right corner.
On the Office Live Workspace sign-in page, type your e-mail address and password that you use to sign in to Office Live Workspace.
On the sign-in page, clear the check box next to Save my password or Remember my password.
Follow steps 1 through 4 in the Connect to Outlook section earlier in this article. Your list contents should appear in an Outlook folder.

Why do I need an e-mail address to sign up for Office Live?

OL-Mod-Shewuk — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 03:00:52 GMT

When you sign up for Microsoft Office Live —either Microsoft Office Live Small Business or Microsoft Office Live Workspace —you are asked to provide an e-mail address and password. You can use a Windows Live ID, which is an e-mail address and password that you already use for other Microsoft services, such as MSN Hotmail or MSN Messenger. Or you can use any existing e-mail address that you own. You will then use this e-mail address and password every time you sign in to use Office Live.

The e-mail address that you use is the primary e-mail address for your account, and Office Live sends any communications to that e-mail address. In addition, to view billing and account information or to use advanced administrative features, you must use this e-mail address to sign in.

Notes:

If you use an e-mail address that is not associated with an e-mail Inbox, you will not be able to activate your Office Live account. You must sign up again using an e-mail address that has an associated e-mail Inbox. If you prefer, you can create a free Web e-mail account with Windows Live Hotmail, and then use that new e-mail address to sign up for Office Live.
If you use an e-mail address from a reserved domain (such as verizon.net or orange.fr), a message appears that tells you to either choose a different e-mail address or contact your e-mail provider. You can use an e-mail address from a reserved domain to sign up for Office Live, but you must first contact the e-mail provider's customer support department for their permission and assistance.

For example, if you have an e-mail account with orange.fr, you can contact the orange.fr customer service department for help with this issue. Regardless of which e-mail provider that you use, if you prefer, you can instead create a free Web e-mail account with Windows Live Hotmail, and then use that new e-mail address to sign up for Office Live.
If you use an e-mail address that you also use for other Microsoft services, when you sign out of Office Live, you are not signed out automatically from other Microsoft services that you have also signed in to.

After you complete the sign-up process for Office Live, you may be asked to confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address that you used to sign up. You will receive an e-mail message from the Office Live team at the e-mail address that you used to create your account. Follow the instructions in the e-mail to verify your e-mail address.

For information about signing up, see Sign up for Office Live Small Business or Sign up for Office Live Workspace.

Or you can share your notes with the people you choose so that they can benefit from your note-taking diligence.

As you type text in your note, use the formatting tools that appear on the note's toolbar. These handy tools help you work with text fonts, font styles, font sizing, alignment, text color, indent levels, and bullet and numbering features.

To learn more about notes, see Create or delete a note.

Using lists in your workspace

Watch the demo (1:49)

Lists are Web documents that feature a familiar row and column format. You can create a blank list and then customize the column headers to meet your needs. Or you can select one of the following preformatted lists:

Create a folder to organize workspaces with a similar theme, such as all workspaces containing class notes or lab projects for a biochemistry seminar. Or create folders within a workspace to organize your documents. If you are a teacher, you can create a workspace for your classroom, and then create a folder for each student in your class to store, for example, homework assignments or grades.

For more information about using folders, see Organize your documents and workspaces.

Share your workspace with others

No matter how you set up Office Live Workspace, you and the people you select can access content in your workspace from any computer that has an Internet connection. You can choose up to 100 people to share with, and you can decide whether someone can revise and comment on a workspace and its contents or just review and comment.

To invite others to share a workspace or document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, select the workspace that you want to share with others. Alternatively, select Documents, and then select the document that you want to share.
In the upper-right corner, click the arrow next to Share. In the drop-down menu that appears, select Share Document if you are sharing a single document. To share an entire workspace, select Share Workspace .A sharing pane appears.

Do one or both of the following:
- In the Editors text box, add the e-mail addresses of people whom you want to give read/write access to your workspace or document. Editors are able to make changes to your content, add comments, or delete documents. They can also review all changes and comments from everybody who has sharing privileges.
- In the Viewers text box, add the e-mail addresses of people whom you want to give read-only access to your workspace or document. Viewers can see all workspace content, including comments and revisions made by others who have sharing access. Viewers can add their own comments, but they cannot make any changes to the text.
If you want to allow your invitation recipients to see your content without signing in to Office Live Workspace, select Let everyone view this without signing in. For more information, see Invite others to preview a shared workspace or document.
In the text box next to Message, you can type a message up to 1,024 characters long that explains what you need the recipients to review. Message text appears in the body of the invitation e-mail message.
Click Send. Your sharing invitation will be sent by e-mail. The body of the e-mail message contains a hyperlink to your shared workspace or document.

To learn more about sharing, read Share workspaces and documents using Office Live Workspace.

Restore deleted documents or previous versions

If you delete items from your workspace, and you want to restore the deleted items at a later time, Office Live Workspace makes it easy to restore the deleted workspace or document. Anything that you delete is stored in the Deleted Items workspace for 30 days before it is permanently removed from your site.

To learn more, see Delete or restore workspace documents.

You may find that you gave Editor access to someone who, for example, made extensive changes to your sales document using dated sales figures. You'll save time and frustration by simply restoring an earlier version of your sales document that contains the latest sales figures.

OL-Mod-Shewuk — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:16:13 GMT

Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta provides lists — easy-to-use Web documents in a familiar row and column format. You can create a blank list and set it up to meet your particular needs; you can also use list templates that are preformatted with columns designed for a specific purpose. With these preformatted lists, you don't need to create new columns — you can get to work right away.

Note: You can add a list to a workspace, but you cannot add a list to a folder.

Choose a list template

Office Live Workspace provides three list templates: a Task List, a Contact List, and an Event List.

Task List

You can use the Task List to track your must-do items to facilitate planning and productivity in your business, social, and family life. The Task List provides these default columns:

Title
Due date
High priority
Completed

Use the Task List to prioritize and manage:

Presentation assignments Identify the individual work items that must be completed to make your presentation a success. Use the Task List to assign owners and due dates for each work item and to flag some tasks as high priority. Share the list with team members so they can update the list when they have completed their assigned tasks.
Class coursework In the classroom, use the Task List to post a reading list or step-by-step instructions for a science experiment. Then invite students, faculty, or parents to access your Task List to keep informed about the latest classroom activities.
Family chores You can create a household to-do list, assign tasks, and post the list on your family workspace. Any family member whom you invite to share it can review and update the list from a computer with an Internet connection at home, school, or work.

Contact List

Keep track of your business contacts, friends, and family. The Contact List provides the following default column titles:

First name
Last name
E-mail address
Home phone
Mobile phone
Company
Job Title
Address

Use your Contact List to collect:

New contacts from a trade show Use the Contact List to quickly record the contact information for potential customers you meet during the show. Share your list with your team back at the office so that they can send promotional materials to the contact while the trade show is still top-of-mind.
Parent contacts If you're a teacher, keep parent contact information close at hand on your workspace. You'll be able to refer to your Contact List to send out e-mail messages reminding parents of upcoming field trips and other class activities.
Study group contacts Create a list of your group's contact information and add a column to the list to identify who will be hosting the next meeting. Share your Contact List with your study group so that everyone knows when and where the next meeting will be held.

Event List

Use the Event List to coordinate your key business, social, and family events with these default column titles:

Title
Location
Start time
End time
Description

The Start time and End time columns offer a handy date and time selector. Click a cell in one of these columns, and then click the clock to choose both a date and a time.

Use the Event List to track:

Team meetings Record the dates and locations of your team meetings and who needs to attend. Share the list with members of your team who are located in different cities so they can keep track of the next time they need to travel to your meeting or call in for a telephone conference.
Class activities Keep students and parents updated on recurring class activities, such as field trips, upcoming art projects, or photo days so that students can come to class prepared.
Family schedules Coordinate carpooling schedules, after-school activities, birthday parties, and family get-togethers using the Event List. Share your list with family members so they always know where they should be on any given day.

Open a list template

To create a new list from a list template:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click a workspace to open it.
On the actions bar, click New, and then click Task List,Contact List, or Event List.

For information about how to change a column title or reorder columns in your list, see Add or modify columns in a list. To learn how to navigate through your list, and for instructions for cutting, copying, and pasting list text, see Modify text in a list.

Add a column to your list

You can add new columns to your list template to make it better suit your needs.

To add a new column, on the actions bar, click Add Column. Alternatively, press ALT + INSERT. The new column appears to the far right of the list.

Delete a column in your list

You cannot delete any of the default columns in your list template, but you can delete any new columns that you have added.

To delete a column:

To select a column, place your cursor above the top cell in the column that you want to delete, and click the four-tipped arrow that appears. To select multiple columns, press CTRL and click the four-tipped arrow of the columns that you want to delete. Then do one of the following:
1. On the actions bar, click Delete , and then click Delete Column.
2. Click the arrow next to the column header, and then click Delete Column.
3. Press ALT + DELETE.

Note: The text from a deleted column in a list is removed permanently from your workspace. It does not appear in the Deleted Items workspace, so you will not be able to restore it later.

Set up column data types

When you add a new column to your list template, you can define the type of information, known as the data type, that you want to include in each column.

Note: You cannot modify the data types for the default columns in a list template.

In the list that you want to modify, click the arrow next to a column title. In the drop-down menu, select one of the following:
1. Single line text Use to capture brief information up to 255 characters, such as names or e-mail addresses.
2. Multiple lines of text Use to record longer text of up to 1,500 characters, such as mailing addresses, customer feedback, or project descriptions. Columns that contain multiple lines of text cannot be sorted.

Note: When typing multiple lines of text, you can create a line break in your text by pressing ENTER.

Number Use to record numbers, such as the number of guests for a party or the number of plants needed for a landscaping project.
Yes/No Use to add a check box. You can include and then select the check box, for example, to identify people whom the sales department should contact or projects not yet assigned to an owner.
Date Use the calendar in a date column to add an event date or a project due date.

If you change the data type for a column that already contains information, you may lose some of the content in the column. For example, if you change a column from a Date data type to a Yes/No data type, you receive a warning that some of the dates in your column may be deleted.

Share your list

Your list can become even more useful if you share it with others. When you send a sharing invitation, you can choose the people whom you want to share with, and you can assign each person a role that determines whether that person can review, comment on, and revise content in the list or just review and comment on it. For more information about sharing lists, see Share your list with others.

Integrate your list with Office applications

If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on your computer, you can integrate lists in your workspace with Office applications on your computer. It's an easy way to work with your list while you're offline.

Connect to Office Outlook You can transfer the contents from your lists to Microsoft Office Outlook, where the list content will appear in its own folder. There is no need to update the two lists separately. Any time that you make changes to your list in Office Live Workspace, the same updates appear in your list folder in Office Outlook. For more information about transferring your list to Outlook, see Connect your list to Outlook.
Export to Office Excel You can export your list to a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet and use Office Excel to further analyze your list contents. For more information about exporting to Office Excel, see Export list content to an Excel spreadsheet.

The Windward Engine

The Windward Engine is similar in functionality and capabilities to Crystal Reports, SSRS, etc., plus some significant additional functionality.

The server is a pure .NET product (also available as Java/J2EE) and does not use Microsoft Office.

When used in conjunction with AutoTag or AutoTag Max, the Windward Reports Engine immediately begins to save you money. One of the biggest expenses in the report creation process correlates to the design tool's ease-of-use. AutoTag and AutoTag Max allow users to design templates in Microsoft Office, and because most professionals already know how to use Office, there's little learning curve. Windward customers report that creating and revising reports is at least 10 times faster than with other reporting systems.

Plus, Windward Reports makes data layout and source mapping trivial. Users don't need to learn complicated code, because wizards and drag-and-drop functionality from within Microsoft Word make it easy to put tags, or data placeholders, into templates. The Windward Engine handles a variety of data sources, including SQL databases, XML files, and Excel spreadsheets. Users can run reports with the click of a button, and they can produce documents in a wide array of outputs.

Additional Key Features:

For example, people who store information on a flash drive and send themselves documents by e-mail to work on later or who share documents by e-mail and then manually merge all the comments later.

Microsoft Office Live Workspace is a great tool for any Office user at work, at home, or at school.

What are the system requirements?

You only need an Internet connection, a Web browser, a Windows Live ID, and a working (valid) e-mail inbox. Microsoft Office Live Workspace works with the most frequently used browsers, including:

· Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

Microsoft protects your account by using encryption, like the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Your stored files have the benefit of virus protection from Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint, because they can only be accessed with a Windows Live ID and password.

What versions of Microsoft Office are supported?

Do I have to download anything to use Microsoft Office Live Workspace?

No downloads are required. There is nothing to install, so just sign up and go. All you need is an Internet connection and a Web browser (see requirements above).

Can I put work documents on Microsoft Office Live Workspace?

Our goal is to deliver a service that offers easier access to your documents and better collaboration, whether at work or at home.

All files will have virus protection from Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint, and they can only be accessed with a Windows Live ID and password. For collaboration purposes, you control who can view, comment on, and edit your documents.

How can you share a document/workspace with someone?

You must have to invite a person to your workspace to share a document/workspace of your Microsoft Office Live account. All you need is that person's working (valid) e-mail address. You can decide by assigning permissions to the person whether he/she can edit the information or only read it.

How many people can I share my work or projects with?

You can share individual documents or workspaces with up to 100 people for online collaboration.

So, how would it work with a home movie of my family, for example? If I "invite" you to share it, does that mean that you can stream it or download it? How would it work with a PDF file?

Microsoft Office Live Workspace is designed for Microsoft Office documents. This means we provide a full-screen preview of Microsoft Office files in the browser. We do the same for PDF files. Other files, such as video files, can be downloaded to a local computer or opened in an associated program. In case of your home movie, the associated program might be Windows Media Player (depending on the format).

This is something individuals will take advantage of, and businesses will also. Will there be a way for organizations to deploy this?

Microsoft Office Live Workspace is focused on extending Microsoft Office to solve common customer challenges related to accessing information anywhere and sharing work. For organizations, there are many related options, such as Microsoft Office Live Small Business, Microsoft Office Groove, and so on. These options enable people in an organization to have a workspace and to share documents.

What is the difference between Microsoft Office Live Workspace and Microsoft Office Live Small Business?

Microsoft Office Live Workspace and Microsoft Office Live Small Business are complementary services. Microsoft Office Live Workspace is the online companion to Microsoft Office enabling individuals to store, access and share documents from anywhere. It is your online place to save and to share documents and files for work, for school, or for home projects.

Microsoft Office Live Small Business is an Internet-based software service designed for small businesses to take the business online. Resources include a professional Web site, a domain name, e-mail accounts and online tools for managing customers and projects.

What are the Office Web applications?

The Office Web applications are lightweight versions of the world’s leading Office productivity software, delivered through your browser. This is for viewing, editing, and sharing Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files online. The Office Web applications feature will be available in the near future.

Share workspaces and documents using Office Live Workspace

Jason AlanSmith — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:59:09 GMT

Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta is an easy-to-use Web-based service that helps you exchange business or personal information with the people you select. Use Office Live Workspace to collaborate on documents, notes, spreadsheets, presentations, and lists — any information that is important to your business, friends, or family. The people whom you invite to share your workspace and documents can review, update, and comment on your files from any computer that has an Internet connection.

What can you share?

Office Live Workspace offers extensive opportunities for sharing in both your business and personal life. Use Office Live Workspace to share:

Workspaces Workspaces can contain collections of documents that have a common theme. You can create a workspace that contains promotional materials that your sales team can access from any computer with an Internet connection. Or you can create a workspace that contains a trip itinerary, packing lists, and other documents that can help you and your friends or family plan for an upcoming vacation.
Notes Use notes to create Web documents using helpful formatting tools. Capture critical meeting decisions, class notes, or issues that you need to keep top-of-mind. You can then share your notes with the people you choose so that they can benefit from your note-taking diligence.
Lists Lists are Web documents that have a familiar row and column format. Use a list to record the contact information for potential customers you meet during a trade show. Share your list with your team back at the office so that they can send promotional materials to the contact while the trade show memories are still fresh.
Microsoft Office documents You can open Microsoft Office Excel worksheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations right from your workspace. Use Office Excel to create a household budget, and then share it with your family or roommates. Create your team's presentation using Office PowerPoint, and share it with others to get their feedback. Write up the notes from your science experiment using Office Word, and invite your lab partner to enter the latest observations in the document.

You can share an entire workspace and all of its contents with the people you choose. If you want to share only a single document in a workspace, such as a note or list, you must first move the document to the Documents workspace before you share it. Just drag the document that you want to share to the Documents workspace under My Workspaces on the left navigation bar.

Note: You cannot share folders in Office Live Workspace.

You can send a sharing invitation using an e-mail message sent right from the workspace or document that you want to share with others. For more information about sending a sharing invitation, see Invite others to work with you on a shared workspace or document.

How do you sign up to share?

With Office Live Workspace, you can easily share information with anyone who has an e-mail address by using the following sign-in methods:

Use an e-mail address and password Use a valid e-mail address and password to sign in to Office Live Workspace. You can use an e-mail address that you use for other Microsoft services, such as MSN Hotmail or MSN Messenger, or you can use any existing e-mail address that you own. If the people you invite do not have an Office Live Workspace account, Office Live Workspace makes it easy for them to sign up. For more information, see Sign up for Office Live Workspace
Preview first, sign in later If you send sharing invitations to people who are unfamiliar with Office Live Workspace, they may be hesitant to sign up to work with you. To introduce the sharing experience to others, in your sharing invitation, you can allow them to preview a read-only version of your shared workspace or document without signing in to Office Live Workspace. After previewing, if they want to start working with you, they can click the Sign up button on the top left corner of the preview page to set up an account and gain full sharing access. For more information, see Invite others to preview a shared workspace or document

Sharing roles

You can invite up to 100 people to share a workspace or document. When you send a sharing invitation, you can define the sharing role of the person you invite. In your invitation, you control whether a user can revise and comment on a workspace and its contents, or just review and comment. Office Live Workspace provides three sharing roles:

Owner As the Owner, you initiate a sharing session on a workspace or document that you have created. You have full access to your workspace or document, and you can decide at any time to end a sharing session with the people who you have invited to share.
Editor Owners invite Editors to have read/write access on a shared workspace or document. Editors can make changes or add comments to the Owner's content, delete documents, and review all changes and comments from everyone who has sharing privileges.
Viewer Owners invite Viewers to have read-only access to a workspace or document. Viewers can see all workspace content, including comments and revisions made by others who have sharing access. Viewers can add their own comments, but they cannot make any changes to the text.

Manage your shared workspaces and documents

Owners

As an Owner, you can see at a glance which of your workspaces and documents you have shared with others:

On the left navigation bar A list of all your workspaces appears under My Workspaces. If you have shared a workspace with others, a sharing icon appears next to the name of the workspace. Alternatively, if you place your cursor over a workspace name, a menu appears that indicates who the Owner of the workspace is and whether the workspace is shared or private.
In a workspace A sharing icon appears next to any documents in your Documents workspace that you have shared. Alternatively, if you place your cursor over a document, a menu appears that indicates who the Owner of the document is and whether the document is shared or private.

In addition, Owners can track all activity that occurs on a shared workspace or document, including when a Viewer makes a comment or when an Editor makes changes. When you open a shared workspace or document, the Activity pane appears on the right, listing the date and time that each change was made to the shared item. For more information, see Manage your workspaces using the Activity pane .

Editors and Viewers

When you accept a sharing invitation and sign up for Office Live Workspace to share documents with an Owner, you can view the shared workspace or document on the left navigation bar. Shared workspaces appear under Shared with Me. Shared documents, such as lists, notes, Office Word documents, Excel worksheets, or PowerPoint presentations, appear when you click Documents on the left navigation bar under Shared with Me.

To open a shared workspace, click the workspace name on the left navigation bar. Alternatively, place your cursor over the workspace name, and in the menu that appears, click Open. If you have Editor permissions, you can add comments and make changes to any of the documents within the workspace. If you have Viewer permissions, you can view all the documents and make comments, but you cannot make any changes to them.

To open a shared document, on the left navigation bar, under Shared with Me, click Documents. In the workspace list, click the shared document that you want to work on. A read-only version of the document appears. If you have Editor permissions, click Edit to make changes to the document, or click Comment to add commentary. If you have Viewer permissions, you cannot make any changes to the content of the document, but you can click Comment to add feedback.

Share a link to a workspace or document

Office Live Workspace provides direct links to your workspaces and documents that you can bookmark to share with those who have sharing access to that content.

Direct links are available for any individual workspace or document, with the exception of items located in the Shared with Me or Deleted Items workspaces. The link is the Web address that you see in the address bar of your Web browser when the document or workspace is open.

To share a link to a workspace or document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the workspace for which you want to share a link.
To share a link to a specific document in the workspace, click the document in the open workspace.
After the page opens, use one of the following methods to share the link:
- Send the link by e-mail In Windows Internet Explorer 7, on the right side of the toolbar, click Page, and then click Send Link by E-mail. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, on the toolbar, click the envelope icon, and then click Send a Link. In Mozilla Firefox, on the toolbar, click File, and then click Send Link.
- Copy and paste the link directly from the address bar of your Web browser Click in the address bar at the top of your Web browser window, and then press CTRL+A to select the entire address. Press CTRL+C to copy the selected link, and then place your cursor in the desired location and press CTRL+V to paste the address.
Note: If someone who does not have sharing rights to the content tries to access a link to an Office Live Workspace document, an error message is displayed.

For more information about sharing links, see Manage and share links to workspaces and documents .

Hide and restore shared workspaces

Over time, your list of shared workspaces on the left navigation bar may become long. One way to keep your workspace organized is to use the Hide feature, so that only your most important shared items appear under Shared with Me on the left navigation bar.

To remove a shared workspace from view:

On the left navigation bar, under Shared with Me, place your cursor over the shared workspace that you want to remove from view on the left navigation bar.
In the menu that appears, click Hide.

The shared workspace no longer appears on the left navigation bar.

Keep in mind that this action only removes the shared workspace from view; it does not delete it. You can still access the shared workspace by clicking Shared with Me on the left navigation bar.

To restore a shared workspace to your Shared with Me list on the left navigation bar:

On the left navigation bar, click Shared with Me.
Select the check box next to the shared workspace that you want to make visible.
On the toolbar, click Show.
The shared workspace now appears under Shared with Me on the left navigation bar.

View your workspace from Windows Live

TomVermeulen — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:33:51 GMT

Windows Live is a set of Internet software and services designed to put you in control of the information, personal connections, and interests you care about. You can customize your Windows Live site to give you easy access to your e-mail, instant messages, blogs, a powerful Web search engine, and more.

If you have a Microsoft Office Live Workspace account, your Windows Live home page automatically shows three of your workspaces, along with the date and time indicating when the most recent change to each workspace occurred. While you're reviewing your e-mail messages or favorite blogs, you can also keep tabs on your workspaces without signing in to Office Live Workspace.

If you want to view a workspace that is listed on your Windows Live home page, click the workspace. Your workspace opens in a new browser window.

Note : Only the workspaces that you own appear on your Windows Live Home Page. You cannot view the workspaces and documents that have been shared with you.
