Any Office document that resides on Windows Live or a
SharePoint server can be accessed from any computer that has an
Internet connection. Office Web Apps (New!)
work in a variety of browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox,
and Safari for the Macintosh, and are compatible with most operating
systems. This means you can also view Office documents using other
web-enabled devices, such as smart-phones or PDAs. An Office Web App (New!)
provides a subset of the features in the desktop version. For example,
in the PowerPoint Web App, you can insert and delete slides and apply
standard font and paragraph formatting, but you can’t apply formatting
styles, designs, transitions, and animations, and work with drawings.
