Microsoft Office enables users to access Web services as they work and to share information with other users by storing information on the Web. Several features in Office provide ways to store information to an Internet or intranet location, whether that information consists of Office documents, Microsoft Office Internet Free/Busy Service information, or published HTML documents. Users can even back up their Office settings to a World Wide Web location and retrieve those settings from wherever the users happen to be. As an Office administrator, you can determine the extent to which your users can take advantage of Web access or other Web-related features.

Managing Web Access from Office Applications

While the Web access and connectivity features built into Microsoft Office 2003 offer a wealth of services, some organizations may need to limit the access of Office applications to the Web. An organization’s policies may restrict Web access for certain workgroups, for example, or confidential projects may drive a strict security policy.

At the highest level, Web access can be managed through the proxy servers that control the Web gateway to your organization. Within Office 2003, however, you can also help to control the Web access capabilities of individual applications or features.

The following list provides a survey of many of the features you can configure to enable or take advantage of Web access in Office 2003 applications. The settings are listed as they appear in the Custom Installation Wizard and Custom Maintenance Wizard. Although the list does not represent a comprehensive view of Web connectivity or security, it does offer a guide to the range of control you can enforce in your installations.

Settings on the Change Office User Settings page

The largest collection of Web access settings is coordinated through the Microsoft Office 2003 (user) node of the Change Office User Settings page of the Custom Installation Wizard or the Custom Maintenance Wizard.
