Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint™ Services is a
component of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 that provides tools
for information sharing and document collaboration that users
and teams can use to work together with speed, security, and
flexibility. This paper focuses on integration between Windows
SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office 2003 Editions. Other
server products that build upon the Windows SharePoint Services
foundation, such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server
2003, also make use of the features and technologies described
in this paper. Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint
Portal Server 2003 comprise the latest version of Microsoft
SharePoint Products and Technologies, a powerful set of tools
for organizing information, managing documents, and providing
efficient collaboration tools that are easy to use.
The collaborative tools
provided by Windows SharePoint Services are easy to use, so
you can share files and information and communicate more effectively
with your coworkers. You can easily create and use SharePoint
sites for any purpose. For example, you can create a site
to serve as the primary Web site for a team, or you can build
a site to help users meet short-term or long-term shared work
goals. A typical SharePoint site might include a variety of
useful tools and information, such as shared document libraries,
contacts, calendars, task lists, discussions, and other powerful
information sharing and visualization tools.
Sharing documents and information is only
part of what you can do with Windows SharePoint Services.
Microsoft Office is closely integrated with Windows SharePoint
Services, so you can use features from Windows SharePoint
Services in your Office applications. Many important Windows
SharePoint Services features are integrated with Office menus
and features. You can even create SharePoint sites from your
Office applications as part of your regular work routine,
so you can be more productive without needing extensive training
or specialized technical knowledge.
This paper describes how Windows SharePoint
Services and Microsoft Office work together. Additionally,
it describes the different levels of integration between Windows
SharePoint Services and Office 2000, Office XP, and Office
2003 Editions. Office 2000 provides very basic integration
with Windows SharePoint Services, and Office XP provides some
additional integration features. However, Office 2003 Editions
provide enhanced integration with Windows SharePoint Services.
