Tell me more ×  Is there a way to force Sharepoint 2010 to use
office web apps when creating a new word document?  From what
I've seen it works like this: - office web apps will be used if
the client computer don't have office installed at all - if
office is installed it really doesn't matter what settings you
make in sharepoint, it will still try to create the new document
using Office instead of Office web Apps.  The above seems to be
true, when I create a new document using my windows computer it
will open in Word. If i do the same using my mac and safari it
will create a new document using office web apps. If I take a
closer look on what's happening the "New Document"-button
contains different links depending on my computer. However if I
take the link that is produced on my mac computer and put it on
a page in sharepoint it works on the windows machine with office
installed (i.e. new document creates a new document in office
web apps).  The link I'm using is this:
