Microsoft FUSE Labs launched beta Facebook application called “Docs“. The service is available at docs.com website. Docs is powered by and built on Microsoft Office 2010. The Docs app enables Facebook users for the first time to create and share Microsoft Office documents directly with their Facebook friends, using the Microsoft Office Tools.
Microsoft FUSE (Future Social Experiences) Labs is a social experiences incubator that explores and delivers new social, real-time, and media-rich experiences for home and work.
How to get Docs account and start using it?
You can start using Docs.com with your Facebook account details. Log in to your Microsoft Docs using your Facebook credentials. Once you logged in you can create or upload documents. See the screen shot below.
When you upload or create document you can select various options. The options includes who can view the document, who can edit it and whether you want to post the document to your facebook profile etc. See below.
Create, Share Microsoft Office documents With Your Facebook friends
You can add Docs to your facebook profile…and add a bookmark on your home page. This will give you easy access to Docs. To do this follow the below steps.
- Login to your Facebook page.
- Select “Account” -> “Application settings”-> find “Docs“
- Click “Edit settings”
- Under the first tab, click “Add” . You can change privacy settings here. Even if you set to “everyone” you will have control on your docs since you already control who can see and edit your docs from your Docs page.
- Under the “bookmarks” tab, check the check box here and then click OK.
See the screen-shot below
This will create a link to Docs on your profile home page and you can access your docs here. Depending on the permission you have set per documents it will be available for your friends or everyone.

Is it possible make af friend group so you dont have to add each individual friend in the viewers og editors field?
Sorry, but I cannot get my Docs to appear on my FB page.
I have done:
1.Login to your Facebook page.
2.Select “Account” -> “Application settings”-> find “Docs“
3.Click “Edit settings”
Thereafter the screen is completely different to the one you showed. I don't get an "ADD" button or "Bookbarks".
However, it does say that my Docs have been accepted but there is still nothing on my FB page.
How do I get these 3 docs to appear on my page?
Thanks.
Pete,
I will try to replicate this and will let you know.
I have the same problem, my screen just shows general info and not tabs or the screenshot you put, hope you can find if something is wrong! thanks 🙂
I created a word document for my group which consists of 31 people but I am only allowed to add 5 individual members names' of to group to view the document. How can I get my entire group to view the doc?
