Chapter 1. The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Platform > User Features
User Features
This book will focus predominantly on the developer features that are available on the SharePoint platform. To highlight how users can interact with SharePoint and therefore with any applications that are created using the SharePoint platform, let’s take a brief look at the key user features.
Office Integration
One of the key features of SharePoint from a user’s perspective is the tight integration with Office applications such as Microsoft Word. This integration is even more visible in the 2010 version of these applications. Within the options in the new backstage area, shown next, users can easily share documents to SharePoint sites. Furthermore, when users create a personal site on a SharePoint farm, they can automatically set the web site as the default save location for all new documents.
