It takes just a few clicks to create a new workspace to start managing your documents.

To create a new 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.

Connect your list to Outlook

angejowett — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:44:04 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.

Note: Microsoft Office Live Workspace currently is supported for English only. Only community-based support is offered in non-English countries.

Who is Microsoft Office Live Workspace for?

Anyone who uses Microsoft Office can benefit from this online service. 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. In addition, it is useful for the people who want to access their work files when they are away from their desk. 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.

· Mozilla Firefox on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista, or Mac OS X 10.2.x and later.

· Safari 3 on Mac OS X 10.2.x and later.

Some features may require a browser that supports ActiveX.

Is my information stored on Microsoft Office Live Workspace protected?

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.

In addition, you have the control for view, comment on, and edit your documents for collaboration. You manage permissions and decide whether someone has access to a single document or an entire workspace.

What versions of Microsoft Office are supported?

Microsoft Office XP, Microsoft Office 2003, and Microsoft Office 2007 are the supported version for Microsoft Office Live Workspace.

What is a 'beta'?

The term ‘beta’ means this is the first version of the service that we release to the public. We are still refining the service to ensure it meets your needs. You should feel confident using the service, and know that it will continue to improve over time.

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).

For a better experience with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, an Office Live Update is available for the Microsoft Office suite, enabling you to create, open, and save documents directly to your workspace from these three Office applications. The Office Live Update is currently available for Windows only.

On Mac operating system, when you upgrade to Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2, a small program named Microsoft Document Connection for Mac is installed that lets you access your Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta documents directly from Office 2008 for Mac programs.

Note: Document Connection for Mac is included in Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 2.

What types of files can be uploaded to Microsoft Office Live workspace?

You can upload many file types, from Microsoft Office documents to pictures and PDFs. For the security and protection purpose, we do not allow the uploading of files that could cause security issues such as .exe files.

Visit the link to find the list of blocked file extensions in Microsoft Office Live Workspace

Blocked file types

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. However, we do encourage you to confirm your company’s corporate security policies before saving work documents on Microsoft Office Live Workspace. 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.

People you invite to share your workspace can review, update, and comment on your files from any computer with an Internet connection.

Office Live Workspace offers endless opportunities to work for you in both your business and personal life. You can use your workspace to:

Collaborate with colleagues Post business-critical information on your workspace and invite key team members to review and comment. Your workspace can become the information hub for the members of your sales team located in different states. Or your workspace can act as the repository for the latest drafts of your team's plans for new business, enabling team members to review or change the documents as needed.
Coordinate school activities Teachers can use Office Live Workspace to post calendars, reading assignments, or project instructions. They can then invite students, faculty, or parents to access the workspace and keep abreast of the latest classroom activities. Students can set up Office Live Workspace to coordinate team projects and post their homework.
Access a family to-do list from any computer It's easy to stay in touch using Office Live Workspace. Create a to-do list, assign tasks, and post the list on your family 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.

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.

- 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.

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.

Share workspaces and documents using Office Live Workspace

Jason AlanSmith — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:59:09 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 01:33:51 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.

Organize your documents and workspaces

E.Harris — Mon, 25 May 2009 20:03:41 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.

Enlarge Image in new window from thumbs.

LeslieBatog — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:01:20 GMT

I wanted to be able to display thumbs of images on a web page & have them enlarge (in a limited function window) when clicked, close the window when enlarged image was clicked and also allow the viewer to download the full sized image.

Problem was the need to upload full size (3072 x 2304), optomised enlarged size (640 x 480) and a thumb (approx. 120 x 90). 3 file per image.

I tried code from http://solutionsforofficelive.com/default.aspx which almost did with one image what I wanted to do with many. I tweaked the code & it worked with many but not quite right. I contacted MSOL telling them the code didn't work quite right & still wasn't quite what I wanted.

Rnady Dozeman contacted me I after a couple of e-mail each way he produced code that did what I wanted with one image. I have expanded the code to work with mutiple images in rows of five.

In response to RxDave I am posting the code on this Wiki for others to use if they like how it works. You can see it in operation at www.HoughtonandDistrictRamblers.co.uk/gallery1.aspx

This code has been adapted to do a similar thing using a web page as the target so I will include it as well.

It would be nice if the enlarged image size could be set to use a global vairiable so the changing one size would change all but I haven't found a way to do that.

The following code is for the single image enlargement.

You need to change

1: WINDOW TITLE HERE to whatever you want to show in the explorer title bar, I use our web site name.

2: YOUR IMAGE NAME.jpg to the name of your image in your image gallery. This image show be at laest a big as the enlarge size.

3: The width=640 & height=480 to the size you wish to display. (keep aspect ratio of your image)

4: The width=120 & height=90 to the size you wish to display the thumd at. (keep aspect ratio of your image)

5: Set the top =140 left=200 to set the new window position. (remember some may view with screens at lower def. then yours)

The full size image is used to produce the thumb & the enlarged image. Keep the ratio or the image will streach out of proportion.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<script type="text/javascript">
function enlargeImage(Url,width,height){
var enlarged = new Image(); enlarged.src = ''+Url+''
var prevW = window.open("","newWin","width="+width+",height="+height+",top=140,left=200,toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0");
prevW.document.write('<html><head><title>WINDOW TITLE HERE</title><style type="text/css">body{margin: 0px; padding:0px;} img{margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}</style></head><body><img alt="Click to Close" title="Click to Close" style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;" src="'+Url+'" width="'+width+ '" height="'+height+'" onClick="BLOCKED SCRIPTwindow.close();" /></body></html>');
}
</script>]]></xsl:text>

<a href="BLOCKED SCRIPT">
<img alt="Click to Enlarge" title="Click to Enlarge" src="/images/YOUR IMAGE NAME.jpg" width="120px" height="90px" style="border: 0px" onclick="enlargeImage(this.src,'640','480');" />
</a>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The code for the multiple images version as seen on our site is the same down to the image calling lines

These are replaced by multiple blocks of the following code. I have called & labled the images 0001 to 0005 it the first block (6 to 10 in 2nd block & so on.)
You would repeat steps 1 to 5 above BUT be carefull with the THUMB SIZE. I had to do quite a bit 'mucking around' with the thumb & the TD size to get them to align correctly. If your image doesn't follow the $ x 3 ratio I would suggest you leave the width & only adjust the hight.
You can alter the window & enlarged image sizes without any problems but if you do need to adjust the thumb width (or the web page width from 780px) then you may have to adjust the TD sizes, the margin-right & margin-left sizes.

<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0001</td> <td width="12px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0002</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0003</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0004</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0005</td>

</tr><tr></tr></table></p>

So what's my code about

This line creates a table without borders showing below the thumbs & sets the first empty cell to 11px blank.
<p align="left"><table border="0" padding="0"><tr><td width="11px"></td>

This line sets cell 2 to 123 px containing the centred image title 'Image 0001' Enter your image name. Then it set an empty spacer cell to 12px.
The nect 4 rows do the same for imager 2-5. There is no empty cell at the end of the row.
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0001</td> <td width="12px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0002</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0003</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0004</td> <td width="11px"></td>
<td width="123px" align ="center" >Image 0005</td>

This creates a gap between the titles and the next row of images. TDs can be placed here if required (containing download link or whatever).
</tr><tr></tr></table></p>

This is the full code for the 4 rows of 5 images. Add more blocks if you need more thumbe per page. This works best if the thumbs were 124px wide and of equal depth for all images in a row.

Manage multiple clients using Office Live Workspace

jeantsang — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:20:37 GMT

If you work with multiple clients, deadlines are just one of the things that you have to juggle. No matter how many projects you work on at once, you have to stay organized and keep all of your client content accessible so that you can easily respond to your customers at any time.

Fortunately, Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta provides an ideal environment to help you manage all of your client projects. For example, perhaps you are a marketing consultant who creates promotional campaigns for your customers. You may work with two clients or ten at any one time and most likely need to share documents with those clients regularly.

This article takes you through the key elements of a consulting project to show you some of the Office Live Workspace features that you can use to easily manage projects and collaborate with multiple clients.

Create multiple workspaces

As you prepare to start the project, think about how you plan to share documents with clients for their review and for distribution. In the past, you probably shared files with clients by e-mail and sorted through feedback from multiple message threads in addition to multiple copies of each document.

Now you can use Office Live Workspace to streamline this process. You can create a separate workspace for each client, where you can store and share all related project documents. You can then give your clients access to the shared workspace so that they can review and comment on documents. Everyone working on the same project can work on the same version of a document, and all feedback and revisions are centrally accessible.

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, click Blank Workspace, or select a workspace template such as Project Workspace or Meeting Workspace.

Note: You can add your own documents to whatever type of workspace that you select. When you start with a workspace template, you automatically get templates for some essential document types, such as a project schedule or task list.
In the new workspace, place your cursor in the title of the workspace, and then type the name that you want to use for the workspace.

After you create the workspace, you can upload project files individually or upload several files at once.

To upload multiple documents to your workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the workspace to which you want to add multiple documents.
On the toolbar, click Add Document. In the drop-down menu, click Multiple Documents.
If you don't already have Microsoft Silverlight installed on your computer, you will be prompted to download it. In the dialog box, click Install Silverlight, and follow the instructions.
When installation is complete, close all Web browsers. Then open a browser that points to Office Live Workspace to upload multiple documents.
On the toolbar, click Add Documents.

Note: After you install Silverlight, the toolbar button changes from Add Document to Add Documents.
In the Open dialog box, locate the documents that you want to add to Office Live Workspace. Press the CTRL key, and then click each file to highlight it. Click Open. Uploading progress for the documents appears.

Share a workspace

After you set up your workspace, you can share it with everyone who needs to access the project documents. Even though you may have several workspaces, client information remains private because clients see only the workspace that you share with them.

To share a workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that you want to share.
On the right side of the toolbar at the top of your workspace, click Share. A Sharing pane appears.
In the Sharing pane, add the e-mail addresses of those with whom you want to share.

Note: When you add e-mail addresses in the Editors box, recipients automatically have editing rights to all documents in the workspace. If you also want to share with others who may need to view but not edit workspace documents, such as your client's assistant, add those e-mail addresses in the Viewers box.
Click Send. An e-mail message that contains a link to the shared workspace is sent to your recipients.

Simplify collaboration

When your client wants to review project documents, there is no need to route documents for review and then compile multiple copies. Everyone who has Editor or Viewer rights to the workspace can add comments to the document right in the workspace. They can also add general project comments to the workspace itself.

To add a comment to a workspace, open the workspace, and then click the Comments button on the toolbar at the top of the workspace. To add a comment to a document in your workspace, click the document name to open it for viewing, and then click the Comments button on the toolbar.

If clients to whom you have assigned editing rights need to make changes to a document, they can also open the document for editing directly from the workspace. Additionally, when you need to quickly access and manage the documents in one or more of your workspaces, you can download the free Office Live Update to open or save workspace documents from within Microsoft Office Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

Office Live Update installs a number of performance enhancements in addition to the Office Live Add-in for Microsoft Office. The Office Live Add-in installs a new toolbar in Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003.

In the 2007 Microsoft Office system, the Office Live Add-in installs new menu options:

For information about installing the Office Live Update, see Improve integration between Office Live Workspace and Microsoft Office programs.

Stay in control of your content

If everyone edits the same version of a document, you have all of the information that you need right in front of you whenever you open that document. But what do you do when clients inevitably change their minds about content that was previously deleted and ask you to add that content back into the document?

Traditionally, you keep backup copies of older versions of that document in your files or your e-mail folders. But then you have to search through those copies to see if any of them contain the information that you want to recover. When you manage your documents in Office Live Workspace, no searching is required.

Office Live Workspace automatically saves a version of your document if more than 12 hours have passed since your last edit or if other people made changes to your document since you last revised it. The list of previous versions is saved with your document and is accessible whenever you need it. You can also manually save a version of a document to that version list at any time. So if you need to access previously deleted content, you can just copy it from an earlier version of the document or even replace the current document with an earlier version.

To access previous document versions:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that you want. Then, in the workspace, click the name of the document.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu. The list of saved versions appears at the top of the Version menu, identified by the date and time that they were saved.

Note: If you click the Version button instead of clicking the arrow that appears on that button, the most recently saved earlier version of that document opens.
On the Version menu, click a version to view it.

When the version opens for viewing, you can select and copy the content that you need. Or if you decide that you want to make the version that you are viewing the current version, you can replace the current document with this version by restoring it. To do this, when the version you want is open for viewing, on the toolbar, click Restore. To learn more about working with versions, see Manage earlier versions of a document.

Collaborate in real time

Your client has questions about some of the market data that you are using for a new campaign approach. Traveling to the client's office will cost you half a day, but going through the data over the phone or by e-mail may not give you the chance to get your points across to your client effectively.

Fortunately, you can save that travel time and still make your point. When you use Office Live Workspace, you can share your desktop screen with your client to demonstrate exactly what you need them to see while you talk on the phone. Screen sharing in Office Live Workspace uses Microsoft SharedView, a free tool that you can download to share anything on your computer desktop in real time with others whom you invite to the session. You can even choose to give control to those who share your screen, enabling them to access the content as you share it.

To share your screen, first open any of your workspaces.

Note: Because SharedView makes your entire desktop visible to the people whom you invite to share, make sure that you remove any proprietary information from your desktop, such as documents related to projects for other clients.

On the toolbar, click the arrow beneath the Share button, and then click Share Screen. If you have not previously installed SharedView, you will be prompted to do so.

For more information about sharing your screen through Office Live Workspace, and for help for installing SharedView, see Share your workspace using SharedView.

Manage all of your projects centrally

By using Office Live Workspace for your client projects, you keep all of your documents centrally located and easily accessible. But sharing a workspace with your client also offers your business and your clients these additional benefits:

Paperless document reviews You save time because all review comments and revision markups are in the same version of the document and are always accessible to all parties. You also save on the cost of office supplies and postage.
Clients have private access to their documents whenever they need it from wherever they may be Because clients have access only to the workspaces that you share with them, you protect your clients' privacy while giving them instant access to the most updated versions of their documents.
Keep everyone on the same page Comments are saved in the workspace with the document, so you never have to search for feedback or contend with confusion about what requests were made. Additionally, because you and your client both access the document from the workspace, you know that everyone is always working with the most current content.

Office Live Workspace saves you time, simplifies collaboration with your clients, and helps you stay on top of all of your projects so that you can spend more time taking care of your business.

Microsoft Office Lie 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.

Create or delete a note

narenderr - msft — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 07:24:50 GMT

In Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta, you can use notes in your workspace to record research or project information, or to plan projects and brainstorm with your team. You can view your notes from any computer that has an Internet connection — you don't need Microsoft Office Word or any other text editor to view your notes.

Create a note

You can create notes in any of your workspaces. To create a note:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click Documents or the name of any workspace listed under My Workspaces. If you want to create your note in a folder, click the name of the folder to open it.
On the actions bar, click New, and then click Note.
To change the default name of your note, in the title text box, place your cursor over Note 1, and then type a name for your new note.
Press ENTER when you have finished, or click in the body of the note to add text to your note.
Click beneath the title to add a description for your note. When you have finished typing the description, click in the body of the note to leave the description area.
To save your note, on the toolbar, click Save .
When you have finished editing your note, on the toolbar, click Close to return to your workspace.

After you create a note, Office Live Workspace provides a direct link to the note that you can bookmark for easy access, share with other people, or use to work with multiple notes at the same time. You can save the link to any of your notes or other documents just as you would save a link to any favorite Web page. For more information about direct links, see Manage and share links to workspaces and documents.

Open an existing note

To open a note that you previously created to read or make changes or comments:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar under My Workspaces, click the name of the workspace that contains your note. If your note is located in a folder, click the name of the folder to open it.
In the workspace or folder, click the name of the note to open it for viewing.

Note : You can change the name of the note in the workspace or folder list. In the workspace or folder, rest your cursor on the name of the note that you want to change. In the menu that appears, click Rename, and type the new name in the title box.

Move a note to the Deleted Items workspace

When you delete a note, it moves to the Deleted Items workspace, where it stays for 30 days before it is permanently deleted.

To move a note to the Deleted Items workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that contains the note that you want to delete. If the note is located in a folder, click the name of the folder to open it.
In the workspace or folder, do one of the following:
- Select the check box beside the name of the note that you want to delete. On the actions bar, click Delete.
- Point to the name of the note that you want to delete, and drag it to Deleted Items on the left navigation bar.

Restore a deleted note

After you move a note to the Deleted Items workspace, it remains there for 30 days unless you permanently delete it. If you change your mind about deleting the note, you can restore it to its original workspace location at any time while it is in the Deleted Items workspace.

To restore a note to its original location:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click Deleted Items.
In the Deleted Items workspace, select the check box beside the name of each note that you want to restore.
On the actions bar, click Restore. The notes are restored to their original workspace location.

Notes :
- If you try to restore a note to a workspace that already contains a document with the same name, a warning message appears. Before you can restore your note to the workspace, you must change the name of the existing note or document that has the same name.
- When you restore the note, any comments and sharing rights that were associated with the note before you moved it to the Deleted Items workspace are not reinstated.

Permanently delete a note

After you move your note to the Deleted Items workspace, the note still occupies workspace storage space. If you see a warning notice at the top of your Office Live Workspace screen that indicates that you have limited storage space remaining, you may want to free up space by permanently deleting notes or other documents that you no longer need.

To permanently delete a note:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click Deleted Items.
In the Deleted Items workspace, select the check box beside the name of each note that you want to permanently delete. On the actions bar, click Delete.
You are asked to confirm that you want to permanently delete the note. Click OK to delete it.

Note : When you delete an item from the Deleted Items workspace, it is permanently deleted and can no longer be restored.

Go green: 5 ways to reduce paper using Office Live Workspace

amitsingh - msft — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 06:15:44 GMT

You already know that reducing the amount of paper you use can help to save trees, water, and energy. But did you know that using less paper can also save you time and simplify your work?

Whether your company is one of the many that have already developed “green” initiatives, or you are just beginning to explore cost-effective ways in which your company can be more environmentally conscious, reducing paper use is an important part of the process.

This article shows you five ways in which you can use Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta to reduce your company's paper use while lowering costs, saving time, and improving workflow throughout your organization.

1. Collaborate with others

When you work on a document with others, do you each create your part and then combine the separate parts into a complete document? Or, do you wait for each person to complete a portion before the document is passed to the next contributor? Whichever method you use, think about how often the document is printed during that process.

Instead of printing documents so that you can share them, share documents using Office Live Workspace. When your document resides in a workspace, you and your colleagues can all work on the same copy of the document and access that document from any computer that has an Internet connection, without ever printing a single page.

To create a new workspace for your documents:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click New Workspace.
In the Create a New Workspace dialog box, click Blank Workspace or select a workspace template, such as Travel Workspace.
Note: You can add your own documents to any type of workspace you select. When you start with a workspace template, you automatically have templates for some common document types, such as an itinerary or a travel checklist.
In the new workspace, place your cursor in the title of the workspace, and type the name you want to use for the workspace.

Share workspaces and documents

You can invite team members to share your workspace and provide them with editing rights to the documents in that workspace. The tools in Office Live Workspace then make it easy to manage paperless team collaboration from within the workspace or within the programs you use every day.

To share a workspace with others:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that you want to share.
On the toolbar, click Share. A Sharing pane appears.
In the Sharing pane, add the e-mail addresses of your team members in the Editors box.
Note: If you want others to review the document but do not want to give them editing rights, you can also invite recipients to share the workspace as Viewers.
Click Send. An e-mail message sent to your recipients contains a link to the shared workspace.

Because you added recipient names in the Editors box, those recipients automatically have editing rights to the documents in the shared workspace.

Monitor workspace activity

To make collaboration easier, all workspace members can use the Activity pane to monitor document status. When you open your workspace, the Activity pane appears on the right, showing recent activity for that workspace, such as when documents are edited or comments are added. Documents and comments that are referenced in the Activity pane appear as hyperlinked blue text, so that you can click the Activity pane entry to quickly access the revised content.

When you don't have time to check your workspace for document status, you can also receive automated activity e-mail messages that inform you of document updates. To learn more about the Activity pane and activity e-mail messages, see Manage your workspaces using the Activity pane.

Access workspaces from Microsoft Office programs

When you download the free Office Live Update, you can access and edit a workspace document directly within Microsoft Office programs.

Office Live Update provides performance enhancements in addition to the Office Live Add-in for Microsoft Office. The Office Live Add-in installs a new toolbar in Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003:

In the 2007 Microsoft Office system, the Office Live Add-in installs new menu options:

You can use these toolbar and menu options to open or save workspace documents from within Microsoft Office Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

For information about installing in the Office Live Update, see Improve integration between Office Live Workspace and Microsoft Office programs.

2. Make document reviews easier

When routing documents for review, does your company follow one of these scenarios?

Print copies for each reviewer and then tediously compile revisions.
Print one copy and route it to one reviewer at a time.
Route documents via e-mail.

Routing a single copy saves paper and compilation time, but this approach can add substantially to the reviewing time, and you still have paper edits to manage. Furthermore, earlier reviewers don't see the changes made by later reviewers. Even if you save paper by routing documents via e-mail, you still have multiple versions of the document and multiple discussion threads to review and compile later.

Instead, when you share your document for review in Office Live Workspace, you save paper, centralize feedback, and save time. You can share your workspace with all reviewers, so that everyone reviews the same copy of the document and all review comments and markup are accessible from a central location.

Everyone who shares the workspace, either as an Editor or Viewer, can read the document and add comments to the document directly in the workspace. To add a comment to a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that contains your document.
In the workspace, click the name of the document to open it for viewing.
On the toolbar, click Comment. The Comment pane opens.
Add the text of your comment, and then click Add Comment.
Note: To apply formatting to your comment text, such as font size or color, at the top of the Comment pane, click Expand to access the Comment pane toolbar.

Those who have editing rights can also open the document in its original program, such as Microsoft Office Word, where they can use reviewing tools in the program and add inline comments. Those who have viewing rights only can also save a copy of the document to open it in its original program.

Because all comments and revisions are added to the copy of the document that resides in the workspace, you automatically have a single, centralized discussion thread that all document reviewers can access.

3. Access documents while traveling

When you travel for business, do you carry printed copies of each of your important documents to ensure that you have easy access to them? Why not give your briefcase, your back, and your printer a break by creating a workspace that contains copies of each of the documents you may need.

If you have Microsoft Silverlight installed on your computer, you can upload multiple documents to your workspace in just a few quick steps. Then you never have to worry about forgetting or losing an important file while on the road. Access your workspace documents from any computer that has an Internet connection.

To upload multiple documents to your workspace:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the workspace to which you want to add multiple documents.
On the toolbar, click Add Document. In the drop-down menu, click Multiple Documents.

If you don't already have Microsoft Silverlight installed on your computer, you will be prompted to download it. In the dialog box, click Install Silverlight, and follow the instructions.
When installation is complete, close all Web browsers. Then open a browser that points to Office Live Workspace to upload multiple documents
On the toolbar, click Add Documents.

Note: After you install Silverlight, the toolbar button changes from Add Document to Add Documents.

In the Open dialog box, locate the documents that you want to add to Office Live Workspace. Press the CTRL key, and then click each file to highlight it. Click Open. Uploading progress for the documents appears.

4. Reuse or retrieve content from existing documents

The cost of storing paper copies of your documents can be more than the cost of the paper you use, the printing supplies, and the office space used for storage. Paper documents can easily be lost or misfiled, and they can be time-consuming to find. Paper documents can also become a security risk if they fall into the wrong hands.

In contrast, storing documents electronically saves paper, cost, and space, and it makes your documents more securely accessible than printed records. However, when you store documents on a physical drive in your office, you have the cost of that electronic storage space and the risk of losing files by an accidental deletion or a hardware failure.

When you store your files in Office Live Workspace, you have a central location from which you can easily access all of your documents. You also have the security of knowing that you can easily reverse accidental deletions or even retrieve previously deleted content.

Restore a deleted document

When you or someone to whom you have assigned editing rights moves a document to the Deleted Items workspace, the document remains there for 30 days unless you permanently delete it earlier.

You can change your mind, however, and restore a deleted document. To do so, follow these steps:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click Deleted Items.
In the Deleted Items workspace, select the check box next to the name of each document that you want to restore.
On the toolbar, click Restore.

The restored document appears in its original workspace location.

For more information about managing documents in the Deleted Items workspace, see Delete or restore workspace documents.

Retrieve an earlier version

As an additional measure of security, Office Live Workspace also saves previous versions of your documents. A new version of a document is created automatically if more than 12 hours have elapsed since your last edit, or if other people have made changes to your document since you last revised it. You can also manually save a version of any document you own at any time, so that you can be sure to keep a record of potentially important content. And, because all previous versions are stored with the original document, you never have to hunt for the content you need.

To access previous versions of a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace that contains the document you need.
In the workspace, click the name of the document for which you want to view an earlier version.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then select the version that you want to view. The earlier version opens in your workspace.

To learn more about working with document versions, see Manage earlier versions of a document.

5. Keep yourself organized

Printer paper is not the only paper in your office that you may be able to save while you also save time and simplify your work. If you use sticky notes or keep a paper notebook, consider using the notes feature in Office Live Workspace instead.

You can create and edit notes directly in any of your workspaces, and you can format notes with font and paragraph formatting to make them easier to read. Additionally, if you take meeting notes in Office Live Workspace instead of in a paper notebook, you can name and organize those note files for easy access later rather than searching through a sea of notebooks to find the information you need.

Similarly, if you keep a to-do list on your desk, consider using the list feature in Office Live Workspace to create and manage your tasks instead. The lists you create in Office Live Workspace are easy to customize, and you can export your list data to Microsoft Office Excel or connect your list to Office Outlook.

To create a note or a list:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace where you want to add a note or list.
In the workspace, on the actions bar, click New, and then click Note, List, or a preformatted list to help you manage tasks, contacts, or events, as needed.

For more information about working with notes, see Create or delete a note. To learn about creating and working with lists, see Improve planning and productivity with lists.

Remember that you can also add notes and lists to your shared workspaces to help simplify and streamline the work you do with others. Every document that you manage in Office Live Workspace helps you get one step closer to having an environmentally friendly, efficient, cost-effective, and paperless office.

Share a note

narenderr - msft — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 06:13:50 GMT

You can use notes in Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta to create documents right in your workspace so that you can access them from any computer that has Internet access. When you share notes with others, you can use the notes to brainstorm, plan projects, and share project information with friends or business associates.

You can share any note located in the Documents workspace with as many as 100 people at one time. And you can specify whether to give each person the right to edit the note or just view the note and add comments.

To learn how to create and manage notes, see Create or delete a note.

Send a sharing invitation

You can invite up to 100 people to share a note. To share a note with others:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar under My Workspaces, click Documents. If your note is located in a folder, click the name of the folder to open it.
Click the name of the note that you want to share.

Notes :
- If the note is located in a workspace other than Documents, you must move the note to the Documents workspace before you can share it. To move the note to the Documents workspace, click the workspace or folder that contains the note. Click the name of the note, and then drag it to Documents on the left navigation bar.
- Comments that are associated with the note are lost when you move it between workspaces.
On the toolbar, click Share. If you are sharing a single note in the Documents workspace, you can click the arrow on the Share button, and then, in the drop-down menu, click Share Document. If your note is located in another workspace, and you want to share the entire workspace that contains the note, click Share Workspace. A Sharing pane appears.

Do at least one of the following:
- In the Editors box, add the e-mail addresses of people to whom you want to grant read/write access to your note. Editors can add comments, change, or delete a note, and they can review changes and comments made by anyone who has sharing privileges.
- In the Viewers box, add the e-mail addresses of people to whom you want to give read-only access to your note. Viewers can add comments, but they cannot make changes to the note content. Viewers can see all note content, including comments and revisions made by anyone who has sharing access.
In the Message box, you can add information up to 1,024 characters long about the note that you're sharing. Message text appears in the body of the invitation e-mail message received by those with whom you are sharing the note.

Sign up for Office Live Workspace

snehan-msft — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 06:08:14 GMT

You can sign up for Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta on the Office Live Workspace sign-up page. You will be asked to provide an existing e-mail address that you will use to sign in to Office Live Workspace each time you want to use it. This will be the primary e-mail address for your account. Office Live Workspace will send any communications to that e-mail address, including notifications about the workspaces and documents that are shared with you.

Sign up for Office Live Workspace

To sign up for Office Live Workspace:

On the Office Live Workspace sign-up page, click Get Started Now.
In the Type Your E-mail Address box, type an e-mail address that you already own, and then click Next.

Notes:
- 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 you signed up for an Office Live Workspace account using an e-mail address that is not associated with an e-mail Inbox, see Sign up using an e-mail address that is not associated with an e-mail Inbox later in this article.
- If you use an e-mail address from a reserved domain (such as verizon.net or orange.fr), you may be prompted to choose a different e-mail address or to contact your e-mail provider. You can use an e-mail address from a reserved domain, 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. If you prefer, you can create a free Web e-mail account and then use that new e-mail address to sign up for Office Live Workspace.

Do you use your e-mail account for other Microsoft services?

If you type an e-mail address that you already use for other Microsoft services, you are prompted to type the password that is associated with that e-mail address in the Type Your Password box. Then click Sign in.

If you type an e-mail address that you have not used for other Microsoft services, the Create Your Account page appears.

To create an account:

Type a password that contains 6 to 16 characters, and then retype the password to confirm it.

Note: If you receive a message that your e-mail address is already in use, you may have used this e-mail address to sign up for another Microsoft online service, such as MSN Messenger or MSN Hotmail. If you forget the password that is associated with your e-mail address, in the Type Your Password box, click Forgot your password? and follow the instructions to reset your password.
Type your first and last names.

Note: The names that you type are used as the display name that appears when you send e-mail messages inviting others to share documents or workspaces with you.

Select the country or region where you live.
Select a secret question, and then type your secret answer using a minimum of five characters.

Note: Providing a secret question and answer is a protective measure to prevent other users from accessing your account or changing your password without your permission. Office Live Workspace uses your secret answer to verify your identity if you forget your password.
Type the eight numbers and letters that you see in the Picture box. This requirement helps Office Live Workspace confirm that a person and not an automated program is trying to sign up for an account. It prevents automated programs from misusing our service by sending spam.

Note: The characters that you type do not have to match the case of the characters shown in the Picture box. That is, if the picture shows a capital B, you can type a lowercase b.
Click Finish.

Sign up using an e-mail address that is not associated with an e-mail Inbox

If you signed up for an Office Live Workspace account using an e-mail address that is not associated with an e-mail Inbox, you will not be able to activate your Office Live Workspace account. You must sign up again using an e-mail address that has an associated e-mail Inbox. If you prefer, you can instead create a free Web e-mail account, and then use that new e-mail address to sign up for Office Live Workspace.

Verify my e-mail address after signing up

After you finish the sign-up process for Office Live Workspace, you may be asked to confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address that you used to sign up. Additionally, if you change the e-mail address for the account you used to sign up, you may also be asked to confirm that you are the owner of the new e-mail address. You will receive a message from the Office Live Workspace team at the e-mail address that you used to create your account. Follow these steps to verify your e-mail address:

Check your e-mail Inbox for an e-mail message from Office Live Workspace.

Notes:
- If the e-mail message does not appear in your Inbox, look in your Junk Mail folder. The message may have been mistakenly delivered to the Junk Mail folder instead of the Inbox.
- If you cannot find the verification e-mail message, you can request another one. To request another verification e-mail message, follow the steps in Verify my e-mail address after changing my account e-mail address.
When you find the e-mail message from Office Live Workspace, click the link in the first paragraph to confirm your e-mail address.
After you click this link, you are asked to sign in to Office Live Workspace again.

To learn more about the e-mail address verification process, see Troubleshoot e-mail verification for Office Live Workspace.

Verify my e-mail address after changing my account e-mail address

When you change the e-mail address that is associated with your Office Live Workspace account, you must verify the new e-mail address. To do this, you must have the verification e-mail message resent to the new e-mail address.

To request another verification e-mail message:

Sign in to Office Live Workspace using your e-mail address and password.
On the Check Your E-mail Inbox page, click request a new verification e-mail message.
In your Inbox, look for a message from Office Live Workspace. Click the link in the e-mail message, and follow the instructions.

Add documents to your workspace

amitsingh - msft — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:43:31 GMT

Get started right away with Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta by adding documents to your workspace. You can add one or more documents — including Microsoft Office Excel worksheets, Office Word documents, and Office PowerPoint presentations — to any workspace.

Each document that you add can be up to 25 MB in size. Office Live Workspace provides you with a total of 5 GB of storage space. If the size of your site approaches the maximum storage space, you are notified that you may exceed your storage limit when you next try to save or upload a document.

Before you can upload multiple documents to your workspace, you will be prompted to install the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight.

Note: To upload multiple documents to Office Live Workspace, you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Windows Internet Explorer 7, or Mozilla Firefox as your Web browser.

Add a single document

If you have not installed Microsoft Silverlight, you can still add documents to your workspace, but you must do so one document at a time.

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace to which you want to add a document.
On the toolbar, click Add Document, and in the drop-down menu, click Single Document.

Note: The Single Document option is only available if you have not yet installed Microsoft Silverlight.

Add comments to a workspace or document

amitsingh - msft — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:38:45 GMT

With Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta, you can exchange business or personal information with the people you choose. To make the exchange of information truly interactive, you can add comments to a workspace or document. Comments are a handy way to give direction, provide further context, note corrections, or add other feedback, saving you and the people you share with time and effort.

Keep in mind that when you add comments to a shared workspace or document, anyone who has sharing access to that workspace or document can view your comments and add their own. For more information about sharing, see Share workspaces and documents using Office Live Workspace.

View the Comment pane

Use the Comment pane to view existing comments in a workspace or document or to add a comment. To access the Comment pane:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace or document for which you want to view comments.
On the toolbar, click Comment. The Comment pane opens to the right of the workspace or document.

You can view or add comments from the Comment pane when it initially opens, or click Expand at the top of the pane to expand the Comment pane across the screen and show the formatting tools that are available. These tools help you work with text fonts, font styles, font sizing, alignment, text color, indent levels, and bullet and numbering features.

To return the pane to its original size, click Collapse at the top of the Comment pane while the pane is expanded. To close the Comment pane, click Close.

Add a comment

To add a new comment to a workspace or document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the name of the workspace or document to which you want to add comments.
To open the Comment pane, on the toolbar, click Comment.
Type text in the body of the comment. Your text cannot exceed 255 characters.

Note: In the narrowed Comment pane, you can use keyboard shortcuts, such as CTRL+B to apply bold to text or CTRL+Z to undo your last action. To access the toolbar with formatting tools, click Expand at the top of the pane.

When you have finished adding content to your comment, click Add comment. The comment appears next to the workspace or document. It identifies the person who created the comment and the date and time that the comment was posted.

Note: You cannot edit a comment after you click Add comment.

If you want to track when new comments are added by other people who have sharing access to your workspace or document, use the Activity pane. When you open a workspace, the Activity pane automatically appears on the right side. When you open a document, on the toolbar click Activity to open the Activity pane.

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.

Add a hyperlink to a comment

When you create a comment in a workspace or document, you can insert a hyperlink to a Web site directly in the body of the comment. Use this feature to provide links to Web sites that give additional context to the topic of the workspace or document.

With the Comment pane open, insert your cursor in the comment in which you want to add a hyperlink.

Note: You can insert a hyperlink in a comment while the Comment pane is collapsed or expanded.

Do one of the following:
- To have the Web address (URL) of the hyperlink appear in your note as the link text, click where you want the link to appear.
- To use text other than the URL as the link text, type the text that you want to appear, and then select it.
Press CTRL+K to open the Insert link dialog box. If the Comment pane is expanded, you can also click Hyperlink.

Note: In the Insert link dialog box, the first part of most Web addresses, http://, is automatically added for you.

In the Link box, type the URL for the Web site that you want to add to the comment, and then click OK.

Note: The URL cannot exceed 255 characters.

If necessary, type additional text into the body of the comment.
Click Add comment. The comment containing the hyperlink appears next to the workspace or document.

To make sure that the URL address that you used in the comment works as you expect, you can test the link.

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the workspace or document that contains the comment with the hyperlink that you want to test.
In the right corner, click Comment. A Comment pane appears.
In the comment, click the hyperlink. The Web site should open in a new browser window. If the Web site that you expect doesn't appear, make sure that you entered the correct URL for the site in your comment.

Delete a comment

If you are the Owner of a workspace or document, you can delete any comments in the Comment pane. Editors and Viewers can delete their own comments, but not the comments added by others.

To delete a comment:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, click the workspace or document that contains the comment that you want to delete.
To open the Comment pane, on the toolbar, click Comment.
To delete the comment, click Delete next to the name of the comment's author.
In the Office Live Workspace Notification, click OK.

Troubleshoot

Comments have disappeared from my document

If comments no longer appear with a document, you may have moved the item to another location. When you move a document between workspaces, including the Deleted Items workspace, all comments associated with that document are permanently deleted.

Manage earlier versions of a document

amitsingh - msft — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:14:43 GMT

With Microsoft Office Live Workspace, you can keep multiple versions of a document. Office Live Workspace automatically saves a version of your document if more than 12 hours have elapsed since your last edit, or if other people make changes to your document since you last revised it. Additionally, the document owner can manually save a version of a document at any time. Versions are created for notes and all Microsoft Office documents that are saved in Office Live Workspace. Versions are not created for lists.

Note: Only the document owner can save, restore, overwrite, or delete a document version.

Watch the demo (1:21)

View document version history

To view the list of earlier versions of a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document for which you want to view version history.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button

to expand the Version menu. The list of saved versions appears at the top of the Version menu. Versions are listed by the date and time that they were saved.

Note: If you click the Version button instead of clicking the arrow that appears on that button, the most recently saved earlier version of that document opens.
On the Version menu, click a version to view it.

Save a version

If your Office Live Workspace has available storage space, you can save up to eight versions of a document at one time. To manually save a version of your document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document for which you want to save a version.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then click Save to version history.

Note: After you manually save a version, it appears in the Version menu. Because this manually saved version contains the same content as the current version that appears in your workspace, you cannot open the manually saved version from the Version menu until you make changes to the current version.

Restore an earlier version

When you restore an earlier version of a document, the current version is automatically placed in your version history so that you can retrieve it later if needed. To restore an earlier version of a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document that has a version that you want to restore.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then select the version that you want to restore. The earlier version opens in your workspace.

Note: The earlier version opens for read-only viewing within your workspace.
On the toolbar, click Restore. You are asked to confirm that you want to restore this version. Click OK to restore it.

Note: To make changes to the document in its original application, on the toolbar, click Edit. Alternatively, on the toolbar, click Save As, and then select the location on your computer where you want to access the document.

Overwrite an existing version

Office Live Workspace lets you overwrite the current version of a document. The current version is then automatically placed in your version history in case you need to retrieve it later. To overwrite a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document that has a version that you want to overwrite.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then select Upload and overwrite file.
In the Choose file dialog box, select the document that you want to use to overwrite the current version in Office Live Workspace, and then click Open.

Note: The document that you use to overwrite the current version must use the same file name extension as the current version. For example, if you are overwriting a document named Budget.xlsx, you must replace it with another document named Budget.xlsx, not Budget.pptx.

Delete a version

When you delete an earlier version, it is permanently deleted. You cannot restore it from the Deleted Items workspace.

To delete one version from a document's version history:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document that has a version that you want to delete.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then select the version that you want to delete. The earlier version opens in your workspace.
On the toolbar, click Delete. You are asked to confirm that you want to delete this version. Click OK to delete it.

Delete the version history for a document

When you delete the version history of a document, all of the earlier versions are permanently deleted. You cannot restore them from the Deleted Items workspace.

To delete the entire version history of a document:

In Office Live Workspace, on the left navigation bar, locate the document for which you want to delete the version history.
On the toolbar, click the arrow on the Version button to expand the Version menu, and then click Delete all versions.

Troubleshoot

Why does my document have no version history?

If No versions saved appears at the top of the Version menu for a document, this can indicate one of two issues:

The document owner has deleted the version history.
No changes have been made to the current version. A new version is only created after a change has been made to the current version.

Why is Save to version history unavailable?

Save to version history may be unavailable on the Version menu if your workspace has insufficient storage space to add the version, or if eight versions already exist in the version history for the document.

If eight versions currently exist in the version history for the document, the Version menu notes Maximum number of versions reached. You must delete at least one version from the version history before you can save an additional version.
When the content saved in your workspaces approaches 500 MB of available storage space, a warning message appears at the top of your workspace explaining that you may have insufficient room for adding new documents or new document versions. You can free up storage space by deleting documents from your workspaces that you no longer need, and then removing these documents from your Deleted Items workspace. For more information, see Delete or restore workspace documents. After you have deleted unneeded documents, try to save a version of your document again.

Note: After you have saved the current version to version history, the Save to version history option on the Version menu is unavailable until you make additional changes to the document.

Why don't I see the Version button on the toolbar?

If the Version button does not appear, you are probably working on a list. Versioning is not supported for lists.

Improve planning and productivity with lists

amitsingh - msft — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:34:00 GMT

To help you capture and share the information that is most important to your business, family, and friends, Microsoft Office Live Workspace beta provides lists — Web documents with a familiar row and column format. You can create a blank list and then customize the column headers to suit your needs. Or you can choose a list with preformatted columns to track tasks, contacts, or events.

Lists can help you manage your hectic business and personal life. You can create a 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. In the classroom, use lists to post class schedules, reading assignments, or parent contact information. Then invite students, faculty, or parents to access your lists to keep up to date on the latest classroom activities.

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

Types of lists

Office Live Workspace provides three list types to help you manage your business and personal life:

Blank List Customize this empty list by adding your own column headers and defining the type of data — text, numbers, dates, or a check box — that appears in each column.
Task List Use the Task List to create a family project to-do list or assigning team responsibilities for a presentation. You can include key due dates for each task and flag some tasks as high priority.
Contact List Keep track of names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
Event List Use the Event List to record the locations, start times, and end times of your key business, social, and family events.

The Task List, Contact List, and Event List use preformatted columns that are designed for a specific purpose. These default columns cannot be deleted, and you cannot change the type of information that appears in the columns — for example, you can't change the Last name column in a Contact List to contain numbers instead of text. But you can change the names of these columns and even drag and drop each column to rearrange the order in your list. You can also add new columns to each of these lists to better fit your list purpose.

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

Integrate lists with Microsoft Office programs

In addition to a variety of lists to meet your business and personal needs, Office Live Workspace provides easy integration with Microsoft Office programs on your computer. If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on your computer, you can use your lists to perform the following tasks:

Export to Excel Export your list to a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet and save it to your computer. You can then work with your list data offline or use Office Excel to analyze your data. For more information about exporting lists to Office Excel, see Export list content to an Excel spreadsheet.
Connect to an Outlook folder You can transfer the content from a Contact List, an Event List, or, if you use the 2007 Microsoft Office system, a Task List, to a folder in Microsoft Office Outlook. Any time you update your list in Office Live Workspace, your changes automatically appear in your list in Office Outlook. For more information about creating a list folder in Office Outlook, see Connect your list to Outlook.

Share Lists

Lists become even more useful when you share them with others. You'll speed decision-making and reduce meeting times by sharing a client list with your sales team to evaluate who would best benefit from a sales push for the new product line. Or share a list of your vendors and their payment status with your company's accountant to check the figures before the next quarterly accounting period.

You can choose the people whom you want to share with and decide who can revise and comment on a list or who can just review and comment on the list without making any changes.
