About this Item

Any situation where people need to work together online is a situation for Microsoft SharePoint. SharePoint is a component of Windows 2003 that enables organizations to construct web sites specifically for information sharing and collaboration. Within these sites, individuals can capture and share ideas, plus work together on documents, tasks, contacts, and events. "The SharePoint Office Pocket Guide" from O'Reilly gets you collaborating with others in this format immediately. It covers the ins and outs of SharePoint's key tools in plain, easy-to-follow language. Within minutes, you'll understand how to: determine which web site template is best for you; customize the design and content of the site's various pages; upload documents for all team members to see; add public announcements; send alerts to team members so they know when existing documents have been changed; add links to other external sites; track work items; call meetings from within Office 2003; and add new members to the site. Thanks to SharePoint, you'll discover that emailing is no longer the most efficient way to share files.In fact, you may never need to zip files together again, which also means an end to files that bounce back because they're too large. SharePoint renders all of this aggravation obsolete. If you want more information than the average SharePoint user, then the "SharePoint Office Pocket Guide" is an essential addition to your personal library. By increasing your team's productivity, SharePoint takes the "dead" out of deadline. And this handy reference guide shows you how to get it done.

About this title

Synopsis

SharePoint Office Pocket Guide is the quick path to sharing documents and building lists. Written specifically for users of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook, it covers the ins and outs of SharePoint clearly and concisely. Within minutes, you'll understand how to:

Create team sites, document libraries, and shared workspaces. Add web parts to create custom pages. Build searchable libraries of PDF files. Link local copies of Word and Excel files to SharePoint workspace copies. Reconcile changes from multiple authors. Review document history. Use the Explorer Views to drag-and-drop files into SharePoint quickly. Create data lists that look up values from other lists (look-up tables). Group, total, and filter list items using views. Use InfoPath form libraries to collect data. You get the how and why of the top tasks without the tedious menu-by-menu walkthroughs that take hundreds of pages but add little value. SharePoint Office Pocket Guide also includes a guide to online resources that expand your knowledge of specific topics.
