Okay, in this last video, we're going to look at opening a new Word document or an Excel document and sharing it with people that we need to have access to it and then manipulating it into the folder that we want it to be in.

So I'm here in my My Files. Now we're going to click New, get this long list of options. That we can choose from. We're going to start with a Word document. It's going to open up Microsoft Word Live. This operates just like a Google. Docs we can have multiple people manipulating the document at the same time. All they need is for the document to be shared with them. So the very first thing we're going to do is document to save. We're going to click on it. We're going to change this to whatever we want the name of the document to be. So I'm going to put test document. I can also change and manipulate where that's going to be housed in. If I want it to be in a specific folder, I can go ahead and do that now. I'm going to go ahead and put it into the test. Move here. 

So now that document is located within that test folder. That's important because if you are sharing a specific folder with. Someone and you want that item or that document to be located in that specific folder. Okay. From here again, it's going to work just like a normal Word document does. But now I'm going to make sure that I share with the correct people. So I'm going to click share. And then just like we were doing prior to, I'm going to make sure that I type in the correct name and it should pop up. I can. I can change this to where they can view it. They can review and make comments on it or they can actually physically edit the. I'm going to put to where they can only review. Send that document and now that person that I send it to now has access that I have granted. 

Okay, so we're going to go, there's the email that I can now review it. Go ahead and text out of this. Okay and I'm going to refresh my page here. And then I'm going to go into test. And there's our test document just like we have created. It'll show you how many people have viewed it. So if you have shared it with multiple people, it will give you an idea of who has been looking at it and what they've been doing on it. You can again, favorite it and put it into your. Favorite folder that way it's an easy document for you to find quickly.

Okay. And again, you can always, just like we talked about prior, I can go to new mail. I can open up insert. Attach file from OneDrive. If I don't see it immediately, I can always search for it. We can go to files. There's my folder test. Test document. And there's the link to the file that I can send to whoever I want.
