Editing worksheets online
Microsoft offers web app versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote as part of the Windows Live service that provides you with your SkyDrive storage in the cloud. You can use the Excel web app to edit worksheets saved on your SkyDrive online right within your web browser.
The Excel web app is very useful when you need to make last-minute edits to a worksheet but don’t have access to a device on which a copy of the Excel program is installed. As long as the device has an Internet connection and runs a web browser that supports the Excel web app (such as Internet Explorer on a Microsoft Surface tablet or even Safari on an Apple MacBook Air), you can make eleventh-hour edits to the data, formulas, and even charts that are automatically saved to the workbook file on your SkyDrive.
Keep in mind that the Excel web app runs successfully under Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 10 as well as under the latest versions many other popular web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as Macintosh’s Safari web browser on the iMac and iPad.
To edit a workbook saved on your SkyDrive with the Excel web app, you follow these simple steps:
1. Launch the web browser on your device that supports the Excel web app and then go to www.live.com and log into Windows Live account.
A web page showing information about your Windows Live account appears.
2. Click the SkyDrive link at the top of the page or select SkyDrive from the Menu drop-down list.
Windows Live then opens the SkyDrive pages displaying all the folders you have there. Note that if you don’t find a SkyDrive link at the top
of the page in your browser, click the Menu drop-down button in the upper-left corner and then choose SkyDrive from its drop-down menu.
3. Click the link to the folder containing the workbook you want to edit to open on your SkyDrive web page.
The folder you select displays all the files it contains.
