Collaborative and Search Tools

• In partnership with Windows Live, Microsoft Word 2010 provides the co-authoring tools needed for multiple users to simultaneously access, edit and write in the same document from different locations. Windows Live is Microsoft's online feature that gives you access to an assortment of online services, such as email, photo sharing and instant messaging. You will need a Windows Live ID, which is free, to take advantage of this collaborative tool. With Word's enhanced find and navigation pane tools, you can search, organize and browse document content from a single pane, making it unnecessary to scroll through multiple pages of content to find specific information.
