Upload a File to Excel’s Web-Based Application
W
ith the Microsoft Excel Web App, you can
create and edit an Excel workbook even if
you are on a computer that does not have
Excel installed. For example, if your office e-mails you an
Excel document while you are staying in a hotel, you can
update it. With the Microsoft Excel Web App, you can use
the hotel’s community computer to make the changes
even if it does not have Excel on it. You can use the Web
App in any supported browser — Internet Explorer,
Firefox, or Safari.
The Microsoft Excel Web App is part of Windows Live, a
collection of free services offered by Microsoft that
include e-mail, photo sharing, personal Web pages, and
more. The Web-based application is included in SkyDrive.
You can use SkyDrive to store files online and share them
with others. To sign up for SkyDrive or to sign in to your
SkyDrive account, go to http://skydrive.live.com. Signing
up for a SkyDrive account is easy. Just click the Sign Up
button and the Web site will prompt you through the
process. If you have a Hotmail, Xbox LIVE, or any other
type of Windows Live account, you already have a
SkyDrive account.
You can use the Save to SkyDrive option in the Share
section of BackOffice to save documents to SkyDrive. The
Save to SkyDrive option lets you save any open file to a
SkyDrive folder. By default, you have two SkyDrive
folders: Public and My Documents. Documents you save
to the Public folder are available to everyone. Documents
you save to the My Documents folder are available only
to you. You can also access an Excel file from a Share
Point server that is running Web Apps.
