My MACUL 2010 Experience – Thursday Microsoft Office Live Workshop

A friend of mine prepared a comprehensive 2-hour hands-on workshop on Microsoft Office Live which is an online storage and collaboration tool that keeps ALL of your Microsoft formatting from your Office products (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.). I’ve been using Google docs for a couple of years now, and have experienced loss of formatting when uploading certain MS Office documents (especially PowerPoint). With MS Office Live, you can upload your documents without loss of formatting…and…share them with other so they can download them, revise, re-upload, all while keeping up to eight versions in the revision history (pretty cool). Office Live offers much more than this, but unfortunately the wireless access was not cooperating and we had to end the session early. I will say that Windee was doing a fabulous job presenting and answering questions adeptly despite pitiful Internet connectivity!
