How Do I Get Started Using Office Web Applications - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote?

Office Web Apps - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote

• ​Office Web Apps are touch-friendly web applications that let you create, edit and share your Excel, Word, PowerPoint and OneNote files from any browser.
• You can share and simultaneously work on your documents with classmates, friends and co-workers. No need to merge different versions later.​
• Instead of emailing an attachment, send a link to the document. Office Web Apps let you read and edit Office docs in a browser on PCs, Macs, iPads, and tablets, and read them on smartphones.
• Please note that while the Web Apps are available through most browsers, including mobile web browsers, they are not the Office Mobile application that is currently available in the Apple iTunes store or the Google Play store.  That is a separate product offering that is currently available to Students.
