If you've been using the Office Live Workspace (Beta) which allows you to save and share your Office documents from an online collaborative workspace on the web, then you probably also installed the Office Live Add-in which gave you access to open and save files to or from the workspace right from within your Office program. Now, that add-in has been updated and re-branded as Office Live Update. With this new version, there are also several improvements including 1) performance updates which make using it faster, 2) direct access to your workspaces from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and 3) a Multiple Document Upload Tool, which lets you drag and drop files directly from your desktop.

Office Live Workspace Update

Rob Mauceri posts on the Workspace Team Blog that Office Live Workspace has just received their first feature update since the launch in December. Based on user feedback and suggestions, the new update includes the following new features:

A new Activity pane to help you keep track of what’s happening in your workspaces and email notifications so you always know when the people you share with make updates. This feature is a lot of fun and makes it easy to see at glance the changes happening in your workspace and in individual documents. Now you’ll know when someone comments on your document, adds a note, or updates an important list.
New support for adding multiple documents to your workspaces. The Add multiple documents button makes it is easier than ever to bring your documents into a workspace by browsing and selecting files from your computer or dragging and dropping files on the document uploader.
New permalinks for sharing direct hyperlinks to your workspaces and documents. Now you can bookmark individual workspaces and items in your workspace using the “add to favorites” tool in your web browser or copy the address bar and paste those links into emails to share with others.
A new Share workspace UI to easily invite others to your workspace. With the improved address book buttons you can quickly add people from your Windows Live addresses book (contacts from Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger) and people you have shared with before. You can also include more details in your invitation with the larger message box and choose to CC yourself on the invitation.

Along with the announcement of the new features to Office Live, there also arrives a new add-in for Microsoft Office users. With this add-in, you can now open and save documents directly from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, directly into your Office Live Workspace. The add-in works by providing you with new menu options if you're using Office 2007 or it will provide a toolbar if you're using Office XP or 2003. You can download the add-in for free from here.

Sign Up for Microsoft Office Live Workspace

Microsoft Office Live Workspace , the recently announced online companion to Microsoft Office, now has a website where you can pre-register to use this new, free service. Once the beta launches, Microsoft Office Live Workspace users will be able to store 1000+ documents online and access them from any computer with a web browser and internet connection. You'll be able to invite other people to your workspace, where you will have control over who can view, edit, and comment on your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. You'll also be able to synchronize contact lists, task lists, and event lists with Outlook. However, you can upload other documents, too, like PDFs and pictures; you are not just limited to Microsoft Office file formats.

Your files will be protected against viruses by Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint, and they can only be accessed with a Windows Live ID and password. Despite numerous comparisons to online office suites, that is not what this is. Rather, Office Live Workspace is a place to store, share, and collaborate with others on your documents online, whether those documents are slideshows or spreadsheets, PDFs or photos. Although the current online office suites may work for light users, there are those who need the robust functionality of a full-fledged office suite, and they shouldn't have to miss out on the online component that's increasingly necessary in today's world. That's where Office Live Workspace comes in.

For people who have worked in larger companies, the description of the new service may sound familiar; it's been dubbed "Sharepoint Lite" by some, and it's true, the service will soon bring "regular users" some of the powerful online collaboration and sharing features large businesses have used for years in Sharepoint. While many will clamor to be the top online office suite, Office Live Workspace offers a different way to work: a combination of software you own (Microsoft Office) plus a service (Office Live Workspace).
