How to use Microsoft Office Live

Master — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:25:56 +0000

Save Documents Directly to Windows Live SkyDrive using MS Word 2010

admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 12:23:21 +0000

Microsoft has made a lot of noise of late about the benefits of moving to the “cloud,” but hasn’t really done much in the way of showing users just exactly how to do so. One of the ways is by using Windows Live SkyDrive, which in reality is nothing more than an online storage facility that Microsoft has made available for free to anyone who signs up for a Windows Live account; which is also free – see another post Windows Live SkyDrive – 500 MB of secure online storage from Microsoft . To save a document you’ve created in Word 2010 to the SkyDrive, use Word’s Backstage Area via File : Click on it to reveal the backstage area: Look down past the usual menu choices to where it says Save & Send ; when you click on that, you’ll get: Next, click on Save to Web.

PowerPoint allows you to add sounds to a presentation by embedding the sound directly into the slide.
