Introducing Office Web Apps

First introduced as companions to Office 2010 applications, Office Web Apps enable you to create, review, edit, and share files from any place you have access to the web. Office Web Apps are designed to be a lighter offering than the more robust Office applications installed on your PC, but they provide you with the tools you need to keep your work flowing. Specifically, using Office Web Apps, you can ■ Create new files in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

■ Review and format the content in your files. ■ Add tables, illustrations, and Clip Art. (See Figure 8-2.) ■ Clip and share notes easily. ■ Collaborate with others as you edit and review files. ■ Edit, update, and deliver presentations anywhere you have web access.

Using Office Web Apps, you can open, edit, and save files that are posted in your SharePoint document library or you can work with files from your own desktop or laptop
