At first glance Office 2019 looks very similar to Office 2016.

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.540
However, 2019 contains several updates and changes that you should know about.

00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:15.080
One big change is that Office 2019 is only available for computers running Windows 10,

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:19.960
or if you have a Mac, one of the three most recent versions of Mac OS.

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:25.580
Regarding new features, Office 2019 comes with several visual updates.

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:31.840
First, there's a new library of graphics called icons that you can use and customize however you like.

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:37.080
It also lets you insert interactive 3D models into your projects.

00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:43.360
Finally you can turn your drawings into standard shapes with the ink to shape function .

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:50.200
In Word, new learning tools can make text easier to read without making permanent changes to your document.

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.660
For instance, you can change the text spacing,

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:55.680
page color,

00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.860
or even have Word read the text aloud.

00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.540
Once you're done, you can close the tab to return the document to its original state.

00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:11.840
Excel has also gained a few upgrades, such as its two new chart types: map and funnel.

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:16.580
It's also more user-friendly thanks to features like precision selection,

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:20.420
which lets you deselect individual cells after you've highlighted them.

00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:25.140
One of PowerPoint's more interesting updates is the More function,

00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:29.140
which lets you animate objects between slides in a short amount of time.

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:37.540
Also, if you like to save your presentations as video files, PowerPoint can now export your presentation at 4K resolution.

00:01:39.220 --> 00:01:44.300
Keep in mind that Office 2019 does not have as many new features as Office 365.

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:50.500
If you're interested in more cutting-edge updates, you may want to look into the subscription-based Office 365,

00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:55.080
but even though many of its additions and improvements are fairly small,

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.640
Office 2019 will hopefully make you more productive.
