Internet Explorer 5.5 or other web browser

Allows a web visitor to use all browser-based features including:

• Viewing web pages on a SharePoint site
   
• View, Add, Modify or delete items in SharePoint-based:
  Lists, Tasks, Calendars, Contacts, Discussion Boards
   
• Participate in a survey created with SharePoint
   
• View, Add, Modify or delete items in a database
  (Only if the database interface was created with the FrontPage 2002 Database Interface Wizard or other browser-based ASP code)
   
• Download files from document libraries, edit them on the web visitor's own computer and re-upload the modified file to the document library on the SharePoint Site. (Only if the SharePoint Web Administrator for the site has granted them permissions to do so.)

How can my web visitors view documents on the site if they don't have Microsoft Office?

It only takes one user in your team with Office XP to make a difference.

If the webmaster for your SharePoint Team Web Site is using Office XP/FrontPage 2002 they have the option of creating 'browser only' versions of your Team's important Microsoft Office documents.  Office XP (and Office 2000) include features that make it super easy to save any Office document in .HTML format that can be viewed by *almost* anyone, anywhere - even Netscape, Macintosh users or web visitors with really old PC's and IE 4.01+ web browser software. (Gasp!)  Yes, it's true!
