Accessing DAV Resources from Microsoft Office

Recent versions of Microsoft Office, such as Office 2000 and Office XP, enable you to open and edit documents directly from DAV-enabled servers, including recent versions of Exchange. You can simply specify a URL for a DAV-enabled location in the Open dialog of the application or use the add a new network place dialog, as shown in Figure 8.1. Once that is done, this will allow you to easily create, edit, and share documents in the remote server.
