S HARE P OINT I NTEGRATION WITH O FFICE W EB A PPS Office Web Apps integrates with SharePoint to provide enhanced options for document creation and preview, as well as cross-platform support for collaboration using the online versions of Office tools. After you integrate Office Web Apps with SharePoint, Office Web Apps displays different menus in SharePoint document libraries, allowing you to choose and create a Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote document. A non-integrated SharePoint server is limited to creating a single type of document (Word, or Excel, or PowerPoint, or OneNote). Office Web Apps also provides a preview window allowing you to see the document, spreadsheet, presentation, or notebook you have selected. This can be helpful when comparing versions of documents, or when you need to identify a document by its content rather than its file name. Office Web Apps also allows users on PC, Mac®, and other platforms to create, view, and collaborate with the same productivity software, provided each type of platform has a compatible browser. Finally, Office Web Apps allows you to remotely collaborate while away from your desktop by using an Internet kiosk, tablet, or smartphone and a compatible browser.
