I just love this feature! This is one of the best integration features between Office 2003/Office 2007 and SharePoint. These task panes allow you to access and modify content in a SharePoint site from within Office without having to navigate to the site using your browser. The feature is available in the following Office 2003 and Office 2007 applications: Word, Excel, Microsoft Project, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Visio.
The Shared Workspace or Document Management task pane provides a link that will open the site in a browser window and an Update button to refresh the site contents and displays the following tabs of
information:
1)Status
2)Members
3)Tasks
4)Documents
5)Links
6)Document Information
All of these tabs include a Get Updates button that retrieves the latest information from SharePoint and refreshes the task pane.
Check out the Part One video. Part Two is coming in a few weeks.
