Saving A Microsoft Word Document To SkyDrive

If you are using Microsoft Word 2010 to edit or view your document, you can save it to Windows SkyDrive so that other Office Web Apps users can access it. Doing so will also enable you to access your document when you are away from your computer and have access to only an internet browser or mobile phone.

In Word, click the File tab > Save & Send > Save to Web. If you haven’t signed in to WIndows Live already, click on Sign In now.

When you click on the Sign In button, you’ll be asked to supply your WIndows Live e-mail address and password. Once your detail have been authenticated, you will see all the folders that exist in your SkyDrive account. From here – within Microsoft Word – you can even create a new folder in SkyDrive.

You can either select a folder and click save or you can double click the folder to save it there: the result is the same. When the Save As dialogue box opens, look at the “path” to where the document will be saved.

This is the path to the location in SkyDrive. For all you geeks out there, you can actually copy the path and paste it into your internet browser’s address bar and it will take you to that folder in SkyDrive.
