Windows Live Office is the online version of Microsoft’s popular productivity suite, Office. Though not as complete as its desktop counterpart, it’s still a very handy tool for managing documents online.
There are three main apps available in Windows Live Office: Word, Excel and PowerPoint. With them you’ll be able to work on text documents, spreadsheets and presentations like you do with Office. Obviously you won’t have as many tools and options as the standard Office, but on the upside, you’re able to work on your documents pretty much anywhere, at any time, as long as you have an internet connection.
The three apps included in Windows Live Office feature a similar interface to that of the desktop apps and are quite self-explanatory. You can not only create and edit documents online, but also download files to your computer, share them via a link and upload files from your hard drive. Regarding the latter, Windows Live Office offers up to 25 GB of free space – SkyDrive – to store your files.
Summing up, Windows Live Office may be a stripped-down version of the original productivity suite, but it works perfectly fine as an online tool for daily document management and editing tasks.
Windows Live Office is the perfect companion for online document, spreadsheet and presentation editing.
