Head to office.live.com in your browser and you'll get a list of the documents you've uploaded to SkyDrive. If you haven’t then upload a document using the built in document uploader and directly open and edit the document in Office Live. Apart from Word, Excel and PowerPoint you can also create and edit OneNote documents.

Office Web Apps is currently available only in English. Other languages will be available once Microsoft starts rolling out updates to different regions.
