▪▪ Posting to social networks You can share your Office documents with your social
networks, like Facebook and Twitter, directly from the application. When you set your
edit or view permissions, a sharing link will be created and posted on the social net-
works you select. When others click the link, your shared file will open in the associ-
ated Office Web App.

TIP The Get A Sharing Link option is similar to the Post To Social Networks option.
You can generate a link for—viewing only or for editing—that you can share with
others through email, a website, or whichever method you choose. Posting to so-
cial networks and getting a sharing link is available in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
You must be signed in to Office with a Microsoft account and have previously con-
nected your social networks to your Office account, and your Office document must
be saved in a shared location, such as SkyDrive, in order for the additional sharing
­options to be available.
