Microsoft brings Real-Time Editing to Office Web Apps

The support for real-time editing promised by Microsoft in June for its Office Web Apps has finally arrived bringing you the facility of editing the Word, Excel or PowerPoint online and then saving the same to the file on the cloud, thereby avoiding the hassle to actually download and manually edit the files in the actual desktop version.

This gives Microsoft now an edge over the Google Docs which still don't have the support for the real-time editing of the documents on the Cloud. Along with that Microsoft, has also introduced the option to sync the same with the desktop version apps.
The Office Web App almost provide all the features of the desktop version but limited sub-features like the number of charts and graphs to offer. The interface is quite smooth and easy to use and the whole editing is proceeded only when a person opens the document for editing in the Web app which is possible only after the document is uploaded on Sky Drive.



For more info on the same, setup an Outlook account if you don't have one and take a trial of the same.
