Use Microsoft Office 2003 applications as clients to Windows SharePoint Services

Every program in Microsoft Office System 2003 has features that integrate its functions with those of Windows Sharepoint Services. You can start in any Microsoft Office 2003 program, then open and save files, view member lists, manage alerts, and otherwise manipulate SharePoint sites without using a browser at all; the Office programs themselves act as Web clients. This sample chapter from Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Inside Out explains how Microsoft Office 2003 programs, including Access, Excel, InfoPath, Picture Manager, OneNote, Outlook, Powerpoint, Project, Publisher, Visio, and Word, act as clients to Windows SharePoint Services. Chapter coverage includes:

• Opening and Saving Library Documents
• Using the Shared Workspace Task Pane
• Integrating with Outlook
• Creating and Using Lists in Excel
• Creating and Using Lists in Access
• Using SharePoint with InfoPath
• Working with Pictures in Picture Manager
• Supporting Project Web Access
