■ Adding Web Parts

FIGURE 5-14 Apply language markup when you have words or phrases in other languages on your page.

Tip If you need help in the translation department, you can display a file in an Office 2010 Web App and then open it in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote on your computer to get access to the new Mini-Translation tool, which enables you to translate words and phrases on the fly. What’s more, you can translate the text and then copy it from the application and paste it right onto your SharePoint Online page. Pretty slick.

Web parts are exciting interactive tools you can use on your team site to add all sorts of functionality to the pages. The Editing Tools Insert tab contains the Web Parts group with ready-made Web parts you can insert directly on your page. These web parts can do the following: ■ Add a document library to your page. ■ Insert a new or existing calendar on the team page. ■ Create or add an announcements list.

The More Web Parts tool includes a number of specialized elements you can use to expand the functionality of your site. Depending on what you want to do with your site, you can add Web parts that do the following things: ■ Deliver content that is relevant to individual users.

■ Add a site assets list.

■ Show the whereabouts of your team members. ■ Post upcoming events. ■ Add a phone call memo tool. ■ Add an image viewer or a slideshow web part. ■ Insert a web part that delivers Microsoft Silverlight content. ■ Add a user task list.

■ Create a list of team members in the site.

To add a web part to a page in your team site, begin by displaying the page on which you want to add the part. Then follow these steps: 1. Click in the region of the team page where you want to add the web part. 2. Click the Editing Tools Insert tab. 3. Click the web part—for example, Document Library—you want to add to your page. (See Figure 5-15.) 4. If you have more than one document library already created, a list appears so that you can choose the one you want to add. You can also choose New Document Library if you want to create a new one.
