Microsoft Office 2016 Review – Features, Price and All You Need To Know....xxx

It’s been almost 3 years since the last version of Microsoft’s productivity suite was made available to the general public, and just like it’s been for the past decade or so, Office still remains the undisputed best in productivity suites. Office 2016 represents a lot of the new direction Microsoft is heading in, which is mobile and cloud first. On the surface it doesn’t look like much has changed, but underneath, there’s a whole host of new features. The completely different look that came with Office 2013 has just been fine tuned here, so if you’ve been using the Office apps on mobile devices, you’ll notice how the UI now seems consistent across platforms. But is it worth the investment?
Office 2016 is the first version that embraces the cloud fully. The very first thing you might notice when you fire up a program from the suite will probably be the ‘Share’ button on the top right. It allows you to share the file with any collaborators so that you can work in real time. It’s a much welcome feature that has been in Office 365 since a while, and now makes its way to the offline suite. All collaboration can be done seamlessly in real time, so you can have multiple people working on a document at once. It works best on Word as of now, but seamless PowerPoint, then Excel support coming in a few months. You’ll also probably notice the search bar on the top ribbon with a little bulb that says ‘Tell me what you want to do’. Upon clicking, it shows a drop down list of some of the most common queries, which you can then click to get a contextualized menu related to what you wanted to do. You can also search for your query and the program will display a list of solutions.

As mentioned earlier, the UI hasn’t changed much, but there are a few touches here and there that make it look much better. For example, every program now gets a colored top bar according to its theme, as in blue for Word, orange for PowerPoint and so on. You can, however opt for different colors depending on preference. Another welcome addition is the integrated ‘Smart Lookup’ feature. You can now highlight and search for terms and phrases directly in the program, which makes working with internet support far easier. For example, if you want to search for ‘Microsoft’, simply highlight the word and you can get information about it in a panel that appears on the right side. If needed, you can click on the links and expand it into your browser as well. This, of course, is powered by Bing. Skype is also better integrated into the whole suite, so you can start off a call or conference right within the program. The branding has also now been applied to what was formerly known as Lync. Now called Skype for Business, it combines features from the popular VoIP service with Lync.
