Creating a new document in your My Site
Your My Site is a great place to create your personal documents, particularly if you're not quite ready to share them with the rest of the world. This recipe shows you how to do it.
Getting ready
This recipe works for:
SharePoint 2010 Standard Edition
SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition
Office 365 (SharePoint Online)
You will need a SharePoint My Site. If you are not sure how to access your My Site, see the Creating and accessing my My Site recipe in Chapter 1.
Note
If you don't have a My Site or only have SharePoint Foundation available, you can substitute any SharePoint site into the recipe provided that it contains a document library. Be aware that whoever has access to read that document library will be able to then read the document that you create.
How to do it...
From within any SharePoint site, click on your name (top right of the page). Select the My Site link from the menu that is displayed.
Select the My Content link.
Click on the Personal Documents...
