Hey, guys! I'm Bill GCFLearnFree.org and today I want to talk about some
of the new features that Microsoft has introduced for Office 2016.
Now to be totally honest, there aren't all that many new features in Office 2016.
The biggest change is that Office 2016 has really been optimized to work on any type device
from a regular desktop or laptop computer, to a tablet, or even a smartphone.
If you're currently using Office 2013 or 2010, you won't really be missing
much by not upgrading to Office 2016. Still, there are a lot of cool features
we'd like to show yo—let's take a look!
OK, so this is the basic Office 2016 interface, and if you've used Office 2010 or
2013, it should look pretty familiar. All of the commands are organized into these
familiar tabs on the Ribbon, so you can quickly find what you're looking for.
They've also added the new "Tell me what you want to do" box, which makes it even
easier to find a command.
For example, if you were looking to change the colors in your document, you might type "color" here.
Now you can see that several different have come up related to color.
We can actually use these commands right from here rather than navigating to their normal tab.
Another new feature is real-time co-authoring; as long as a file is saved
to your OneDrive, everyone can then edit the document in real time and see the
changes as they happen.
In Excel 2016 some of the biggest additions include new chart types such
as the waterfall, box and whisker, sunburst, and treemap.
These offer new and more interesting ways to present your data effectively.
OK, so those are just some of the new features in Office 2016 .
Again, if you have office 2010 and 2013 I don't think you're going to be missing all
of that many futures by not upgrading at this time.
But if you have a newer computer or tablet that supports multi-touch, a lot of these features might
be really valulable to you. OK, that's all you got for now, but be sure to check out all of our
