I am trying to create a workspace in Microsoft Word 2007 and in the document
management task pane I was able to save a document with the Office Live addin
for Word but when I click on get updates in document management it says
getting updates failed. Can anybody help with document collaboration and how
to get the latest updates?

Isn't the Office Live add in a SharePoint site or what do I need in
Microsoft Office 2007 in order to correctly use this feature?

Hi Ron 38
Office Live addin is a Workspace addin for a Windows Live ID log in which is
one thing. You can share your named workspaces with whoever you wish.

Sharepoint is either Sharepoint on a Server (company setup) or Office Live
Small Business - Business Applications/Outlook Connector if you wish to
publish documents etc to Outlook from Business Applications - also uses a
Windows Live ID and is a Sharepoint Website.

I think you are mixing up WORKSPACES (one thing MS provides) with SHAREPOINT
SERVER or Office Live Small Business Applications.

Well there is an exercise in the Word 2007 Step by Step book dealing with
Using Document Workspaces. I have Microsoft Outlook with Business Contact
Manager. Is that A SharePoint site. It says that in order to create a
document workspace in Word 2007 you publish the document to a SharePoint
site. So the Office Live workspace add in in Word 2007 is not a SharePoint
site. I just want to get everything in the document management task pane to
work. When I log in to Office Live add in from Word 2007 it brings up the
document management task pane but when I click to get updates it says getting
updates failed at the bottom on document management task pane.

I'm using an example document in order to create the document workspace and
the book says I have to have a user name and password for the Sharepoint site
available. In Word Options should the save location me on a web server or
server drafts locations on this computer?

In the book it says you click Microsoft Office button, point to Publish and
then click Create Document Workspace. Document Management task pane opens
with name of current document entered in Document Workspace Name box. In
Location for new URL box it says to type the URL of the site where you want
to create a document workspace. What does a SharePoint URL have in it?

Login with Windows Live ID to your Workspace and open a document EDIT and
then when it has opened in Word on your Active Screen from the Sharepoint
Server you can go to Word Pizza Button top left and select SERVER and open
the Document Management pane and you will see the name of the Sharepoint
path to your open document.

It should make sense. The document you have open is then saved back to the
sharepoint server and the Document Management pane is showing you what is
open.

Hope that helps.

This link is to the Sharepoint free Workspace sites Microsoft make available
(there are many different software packages MS deliver).

http://workspace.officelive.com/?cloc=en-AU

You need to login with your Windows Live ID (your email and a password and
create a Free Office Live Workspace. Read the instructions at the link.
Then upload a document or save a document to your workspace and then do as I
suggest in my previous email with SERVER and checkbox to make the task pane
available on startup. It should make more sense.

As to the book step by step - I didn't write it (I'm pleased to say).

Hope this gets you started...

Do you Edit the document in Word or from the Workspace web site. In the
Document Management pane I don't have the Open Site in Browser at the top and
I am logged into my Workspace site. I'm missing something somewhere and I
still get that Getting Updates failed from Word 2007 in red at the bottom of
the screen.

This morning I have your folder on my Workspace. I opened one of your
letters and made a change and saved it back to the workspace.
Normally Workspaces is great for sharing documents (save a copy to the
workspace). Update default is 10 minutes.

You can save from Word to your Workspace folders or from Workspace folders
you can save/edit back to Word and Share as you have.
Although that sharing option is a little strange as I forgot to log off from
my workspace and your folder just popped in. Usually I would have to accept
the workspace via email (not even going there!).

You can contact Support at bottom of Workspaces if you are having further
issues. But from my standpoint your issue is resolved. It won't update until
10 minutes has passed or is saved back to system. MS quite often change the
way Workspaces works.

Please don't forget to delete the share from my workspace. I am a little
concerned there was no email for me to accept/reject the share as is
normally the case.

Hope you resolve your issues with Support at Workspaces if you have further
issues. Word is not the issue.

No, Ron.
Sharepoint Server is a network Sharepoint Server software program (companies
would use usually).

WORKSPACES is an MS Sharepoint site (totally separate) but uses SHAREPOINT
server software (in simple terms).

Check your Word options that Office Live Addin is installed and checked.

Under COMPUTER you should be showing an OfficeLive named workspace path (you
then access that with your Email & Password) when it shows if it does not
remember it.
Use Internet Explorer (not sure what you use) to view COMPUTER (Local Disk,
xxxxxxx.Workspace.Office.Live.com, My Websites MSN) that sort of thing
should be showing.
I have several workspaces but they do not all show. If you don't use them
you lose them (60 or 90 days I think - don't remember - or that could be
websites).
I do not show all my officelive workspaces because I do not have documents
in them and am not accessing them.
Also there is sometimes a time delay between Office adding auto updates so
this may resolve automatically in the next few days.

Turn off your machine (reboot) and then wait a couple of days (making sure
you use Workspaces) and see if it shows then. You need to save from
Word/Excel etc back to Workspace and vice versa.

You can contact Support at bottom of Workspaces if you are having further
issues. But from my standpoint your issue is resolved. It won't update
until
10 minutes has passed or is saved back to system. MS quite often change
the
way Workspaces works.

Please don't forget to delete the share from my workspace. I am a little
concerned there was no email for me to accept/reject the share as is
normally the case.

Hope you resolve your issues with Support at Workspaces if you have
further
issues. Word is not the issue.

Do you Edit the document in Word or from the Workspace web site. *In
the
Document Management pane I don't have the Open Site in Browser at the
top
and
I am logged into my Workspace site. I'm missing something somewhere and
I
still get that Getting Updates failed from Word 2007 in red at the

Login with Windows Live ID to your Workspace and open a document EDIT
and
then when it has opened in Word on your Active Screen from the
Sharepoint
Server you can go to Word Pizza Button top left and select SERVER and
open
the Document Management pane and you will see the name of the
Sharepoint
path to your open document.

It should make sense. The document you have open is then saved back to
the
sharepoint server and the Document Management pane is showing you what
is
open.

Hope that helps.

Well there is an exercise in the Word 2007 Step by Step book dealing
with
Using Document Workspaces. I have Microsoft Outlook with Business
Contact
Manager. Is that A SharePoint site. It says that in order to create
a
document workspace in Word 2007 you publish the document to a
SharePoint
site. So the Office Live workspace add in in Word 2007 is not a
SharePoint
site. I just want to get everything in the document management task
pane
to
work. When I log in to Office Live add in from Word 2007 it brings
up
the
document management task pane but when I click to get updates it
says
getting
updates failed at the bottom on document management task pane.

I'm using an example document in order to create the document
workspace
and
the book says I have to have a user name and password for the
Sharepoint
site
available. In Word Options should the save location me on a web
server
or
server drafts locations on this computer?

In the book it says you click Microsoft Office button, point to
Publish
and
then click Create Document Workspace. Document Management task pane
opens
with name of current document entered in Document Workspace Name
box.
In
Location for new URL box it says to type the URL of the site where
you
want
to create a document workspace. What does a SharePoint URL have in
it?

Hi Ron 38
Office Live addin is a Workspace addin for a Windows Live ID log in
which
is
one thing. You can share your named workspaces with whoever you
wish.

Sharepoint is either Sharepoint on a Server (company setup) or
Office
Live
Small Business - Business Applications/Outlook Connector if you
wish
to
publish documents etc to Outlook from Business Applications - also
uses a
Windows Live ID and is a Sharepoint Website.

I think you are mixing up WORKSPACES (one thing MS provides) with
SHAREPOINT
SERVER or Office Live Small Business Applications.

On a MS Sharepoint site what software do you have to have to run it on
a home computer and link it to Microsoft Office 2007 applications? I'm
just trying this example in the Step by Step Word 2007 book and they
also talk about it in Word 2007 Inside Out.

REMOVE ME FROM YOUR WORKSPACES PLEASE NOW.

Sharepoint Server is a network Sharepoint Server software program
(companies
would use usually).

WORKSPACES is an MS Sharepoint site (totally separate) but uses
SHAREPOINT
server software (in simple terms).

Check your Word options that Office Live Addin is installed and checked.

Under COMPUTER you should be showing an OfficeLive named workspace path
(you
then access that with your Email & Password) when it shows if it does not
remember it.
Use Internet Explorer (not sure what you use) to view COMPUTER (Local
Disk,
xxxxxxx.Workspace.Office.Live.com, My Websites MSN) that sort of thing
should be showing.
I have several workspaces but they do not all show. If you don't use them
you lose them (60 or 90 days I think - don't remember - or that could be
websites).
I do not show all my officelive workspaces because I do not have
documents
in them and am not accessing them.
Also there is sometimes a time delay between Office adding auto updates
so
this may resolve automatically in the next few days.

Turn off your machine (reboot) and then wait a couple of days (making
sure
you use Workspaces) and see if it shows then. You need to save from
Word/Excel etc back to Workspace and vice versa.

In my document management task pane from Word 2007 I should have the
title
of
the workspace and a hyperlink to click Open site in browser and I'm not
seeing that. It also says no data is currently available for this
workspace.
On Status it says I have 0 items in the list. Something is wrong here.
Do
I
need Office SharePoint Server 2007?

This morning I have your folder on my Workspace. I opened one of your
letters and made a change and saved it back to the workspace.
Normally Workspaces is great for sharing documents (save a copy to the
workspace). Update default is 10 minutes.

You can save from Word to your Workspace folders or from Workspace
folders
you can save/edit back to Word and Share as you have.
Although that sharing option is a little strange as I forgot to log
off
from
my workspace and your folder just popped in. Usually I would have to
accept
the workspace via email (not even going there!).
