SkyDrive and Office work together

When you sign in with a Microsoft account, your docs are saved on SkyDrive (by default) so that you can access

them from anywhere—your computer, phone, or the web. Saving Office docs on SkyDrive also makes it easy to

share and work with other people. (If they don't have Office, they can use free Office Web Apps.) For more info,

see SkyDrive and Office work together on Windows.com.
