Using Windows Live as a collaborative workspace may seem a little daunting at first, however it is quite simple and highly user friendly once you familiarise yourself with it. This article is solely focused on getting you up and running in Microsoft’s collaborative environment.
To get started you will need the following.
- Windows live ID
- Microsoft Office
If you don’t have a Windows Live ID then you need to create one.
If you don’t have Microsoft Office then the following information probably won’t benefit you too much.
Let’s begin!
Uploading a document
- Create a word document and save it to your desktop
- Login to Windows Live
- Upload your document (make sure the original is not open)
Editing a document
- Hover the mouse over your document to view it
- Click view & it will open in MS Word on your computer
Sharing a Document
- Highlight the tick box next to your document & click share
- Enter the email of people you want to share the document with
- Choose their admin privileges
Done!
Below is a fairly helpful video tutorial of the entire workspace.
