If you love a challenge, think nothing of doing something the “hard way,” and are willing to spend hours reading directions, this section isn’t for you.

However, if you believe the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, you might want to take a look at the Page Editor modules. In a nutshell, an Office Live module is a cool, easy way for you to add some of the bells and whistles generally found in the most professional Web sites.

You can use modules to create anything from a driving direction link (say, from a visitor’s location to your office) to a contact form designed to help you build a database from visitors’ contact information.

To add a module to your Web site, follow these easy steps:

1. Click WebSite in the Navigation bar of your Office Live home page. The Page Manager opens.
2. Click the Page Editor icon on the Page Manager section’s toolbar. The Page Editor springs to attention.
3. Click Module on the Page Editor toolbar and click the module you want.
4. Fill in the information required for your selected module and click OK. The required information is fairly self-explanatory. For example, Figure 5-18 shows the Map & Directions page. Fill in your address (following the form of the sample provided) and you’re good to go.
5. Click Save on the Page Editor toolbar to save your changes and then close the Page Editor by clicking the X in the upper-right corner.
