Office XP - Co-ordinating Features

Document Libraries

Document Libraries provide a location on the Web for users to store their Office documents and work on them with others. Within each Document Library, users can create new Office documents, upload existing Office documents to their team space, associate templates with libraries, and filter on those documents using a rich, Web-based user interface.

• From the Microsoft SharePoint Team Services Home Page, select the Documents link.
• Either create a new document library or access one of the existing libraries. These can have their content in Indian languages.

Save/Open Dialog

Saving to and opening office documents from Document Libraries is made simple by enabling users to navigate to their Microsoft SharePoint team Web site from the File Open/File Save dialog boxes in Office. Office XP enhances the user experience by displaying document libraries via an HTML interface right in the File Open/File Save dialog boxes.

• Open any Office document.
• Select Save As from the File menu.
• Type in the URL of the Microsoft SharePoint team Web site (or access it via My Network Places).
• Choose the document library you want to save to.

This can be done for documents having Indian language content.

Lists

The Microsoft SharePoint team Web site is made up of a set of lists, which are structured collections of information that the user can view and edit using the Web interface. Users can choose from a variety of list templates (such as announcements, team contacts, team events, surveys, etc.) or create a new list in Excel from scratch. Furthermore, users can easily edit, customize, subscribe, or export their lists to the appropriate Office application.

• From the SharePoint Team Services Home Page, click Lists.
• Click any list and start adding information.
• Click New List and choose from a variety of different lists.

Document Discussions

Users can insert and reply to a discussion on an Office document or Web site. By default, discussions are not displayed within an Office document, but can be easily expanded for viewing purposes.

• Open up a document that you have saved to a document library.
• Click the Discuss button on the toolbar.

On the Discussion toolbar (at the bottom), select Insert a Discussion. This discussion can take place in an Indian language.
