Business Needs and Drivers for SharePoint
A number of organizational needs have spurred the adoption of SharePoint technologies. Some of the most commonly mentioned requirements include the following:
Configure Search Service in MOSS
Following steps will help you to configure and start the search service:
- On the SharePoint Central Administration home page, click the Operations tab on the top navigation bar.
- On the Operations page, in Topology and Services, click Servers in farm
- On the Servers in Farm page, click the server on which you want to configure the search service
- Click Start next to Office SharePoint Server Search
Using Word 2003 with SharePoint 2007
You must ensure that Word 2003 users have the latest updates and patches for Word 2003 (and other Office 2003 applications). Microsoft makes this easy by providing software that checks the computer for the latest patches and updates on their website. Users should be encouraged to update their Office 2003 installations. Alternatively, you can use a product such as the free Microsoft Windows Server Update Services or the more comprehensive Microsoft Systems Management Server solution to push out the latest patches and updates. If the most current versions are not being used, the user experience with SharePoint 2007 might not be acceptable (because of potential errors).
Creating Lists in SharePoint 2007
As with libraries, creating lists can be a complex process because the number of options is large and might be overwhelming to a new administrator. Many administrators choose to include a subset of the standard lists provided in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or SharePoint Server 2007.

Using Microsoft Word 2007 in SharePoint
When Word 2007 is used to open a document from a SharePoint 2007 document library, the document properties bar is open by default. In this case, there are quite a few fields of metadata because the Dublin core content type was applied to this document. These fields can be edited and will be saved when the document is saved. If the down arrow is clicked, the options of Document Properties and Advanced Document Properties are offered.
