If you’re viewing a document in an Office Web App (New!),
you can download a copy of a file to your hard drive on your computer
or save it with another name (Excel) in the current SkyDrive folder on
Windows Live. When you download a file, you can specify the location on
your local hard drive where you want to store it. In Excel, when you
save a file with another name in the current SkyDrive folder on Windows
Live, you can specify whether you want to overwrite an existing file
with the same name. The download and save as options may vary or change
in the Office Web Apps.
