Sync with Office Outlook 2007

Even if you're not online, you can work with your Microsoft Office Live Small Business documents, schedules, and business contacts by syncing them ahead of time with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Using the Connect to Outlook feature, you can synchronize data stored in Contact Manager and Document Manager.

To use Connect to Outlook, you must have Office Outlook 2007 installed on your computer.

 Note   Changes made to information in Office Outlook 2007 are automatically updated in Office Live Small Business, and vice versa. However, if the document, library, or calendar page is open in both places when you make changes to the information in one, you must refresh the view in the other to see the changes.
