Office Live gives you the ability to store your documents and access/save those documents directly from Word or Excel. Is this possible when storing documents on a Sharepoint server?
In other words, if you have all your documents stored on your Sharepoint server, is there a way to access them with Word/Excel straight through Word/Excel without actually opening any other application?

You can open documents from a SharePoint server with Office 2007, just navigate to the document library in the File>Open menu, etc -

So you'd just navigate to it like you would a normal network share?

Yes and no.
1. You can map libraries as network drives on user computers.
2. You can browse the libraries through the open file dialog, which looks a little different from the standard view you get from the "Open File" dialog box. So this way is not exactly the same.
To map the library as a drive use the "open using Windows Explorer" option from the library's action menu. Then just use that path to map it via a login script.
