For SharePoint End Users, learning the integration points between the Office tools you use everyday and SharePoint is the first line of attack for understanding the power of what can be done. Word is one of those essential tools

Workshop Description

"Word and SharePoint: I didn't know you could do that!" is a workshop for people who use Word and need to get hands-on experience with how it works with SharePoint. It will also be helpful for Site Managers who are the first line of support for an organization's End Users.

In this workshop we will provide solutions for using Word with SharePoint:

• Add a Word template to document library or Content Type
• Insert document library fields into Word 2007 documents
• Manage content with the Document Information Panel
• Use Word to post directly to a blog
• Work offline on SharePoint documents
• Open SharePoint documents without opening SharePoint
• Compare document versions
• Manage a Document Library from within Word
• Dynamic document version comparison

All solutions are applicable for WSS as well as MOSS environments.

You will be provided with your own SharePoint sandbox for trying out the solutions before moving them to your production environment.

Conclusion

Learning how MS Word is integrated with your SharePoint environment will not only make you more efficient with your daily work, it will give you new ideas on what can be done. By using a live hands-on workshop format, we will be able to work with you and provide real world solutions for problems you encounter daily when working with SharePoint.

Testimonials from previous participants of live online EndUserSharePoint.com workshops:

"I found this workshop well worth the time and cost. Even after managing SPS for over three years and architecting our current MOSS solution I found it valuable to spend this time to review content types and to actually put it into action." -- Kip [The Basics of Content Types in SharePoint 2007]

"I love these sessions They get me to thinking what I can (or might) do with SharePoint! I never thought of using Content Types for things other than a library." -- Shannon [Create a Master Calendar in SharePoint]

"This is an excellent workshop. Mark answered every question and moderated with humor and patience through the usual communication hiccups with an audience that is international (Argentina, Ireland, all over the US)." -- Betsy [SharePoint Dashboards, Online]
