How to Sign Up for Microsoft Office Online
Microsoft Office Online is a website you can use to purchase Microsoft products or find templates for Microsoft products you own, such as Word or Excel. If you would like to create templates for Microsoft Office products, you can do so by signing up for a Windows Live ID. After you sign up for a Windows Live ID, you can use it to sign in to Microsoft Office Online. There are two ways to register for a Windows Live ID: you can use an existing email account to register or you can create a new Microsoft account.
