If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on your computer, when you create a list by using Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta, you can export the list content to a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet. It's a quick way to work with your lists offline and further analyze your list contents.
