Instead of interacting with a document, Excel users now have a virtual workspace. Not only does it make more sense to post a link to an online workbook that others can use and manipulate, the complexity of these documents means emailing them back and forth simply isn’t practical. I’ve typically thought of Excel, like PowerPoint, as an offline application. So if you want to perform that command again, you’re none the wiser.
While ‘tell me’ takes you directly to a command, it doesn’t tell you where that command is located. What the ‘tell me’ box does, though, is simply to do what you tell it to. You can also choose to look for help on that specific topic, or do a Smart Lookup search instead.

If you’d like to know how to justify a group of cells, for example, you can begin typing ‘justify a group of cells.’ Excel will begin making suggestions that change as you continue typing.
But while Bing or the Smart Lookup feature adds context around the phrase in question, the ‘tell me’ box cuts through the numerous menus and submenus. The ‘tell me’ box is essentially a search box, much like Bing.
The ‘Tell me what to do…’ feature cuts right through any confusion in Office 2016. If you’ve never owned Office, the free Office Mobile apps that can be downloaded from the Windows Store onto iOS, Android, and Windows Phones are very good-and include some of the intelligence and sharing capabilities built into Office 2016. My advice to an individual, family, or small business owner: Wait. It’s those people who fall somewhere in the middle-unwilling to commit to Office 365, but still wavering whether or not to buy Office-who must decide.

Windows 10 users already have access to Microsoft’s own baked-in, totally free version of Office, the Office Mobile apps.

If you subscribe to Office 365, it’s a moot point those bits will stream down to your PC shortly. Office 365 is $7 per month for a Personal plan (with one device installation) and $10 per month for a Home Plan, where Office can be installed on five devices and five phones. You could still buy Office 2016 as a standalone product: It costs $149 for Office 2016 Home & Student (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote) and $229 for Office Home & Business, which adds Outlook 2016. And to use all of the advanced features of Office, you must own some sort of Windows PC.

But Microsoft’s brave new world runs best on Office 365, Microsoft’s subscription service, where everybody has the latest software that automatically updates over time. Microsoft says its new collaborative workflow reflects how people do things now, from study groups to community centers on up to enterprise sales forces. Even emailing copies back and forth is now tacitly discouraged. Printing out a document and marking it up with a pen? Medieval. Office now encourages you to share documents online, in a collaborative workspace. To the basic Office apps, Microsoft has added its Sway app for light content creation, and the enterprise information aggregator, Delve.Ĭollaboration in the cloud is the real difference with Office 2016. Office 2013 users can rest easy about one thing: Office 2016’s applications are almost indistinguishable from their previous versions in look and feature set. That’s a slight misnomer, as the Office 2016 apps upon it used the same version that Microsoft had tested with the public, with a few exceptions: Outlook was pre-populated with links and contacts of a virtual company to give reviewers the look and feel of Delve, Outlook’s new Groups feature, and more. Microsoft seeded reviewers with a Microsoft Surface 3 with the “final code” upon it. I’ve been using it since the consumer preview release in May.

I tested the client-facing portion of Office 2016. Microsoft released the trial version of Office 2016 in March as a developer preview with a focus on administrative features (data loss protection, multi-factor authentication and more) that we didn’t test. Just as Windows 10 ties notebooks, desktops, phones and tablets together, and adds a layer of intelligence, Office 2016 wants to connect you and your coworkers together, using some baked-in smarts to help you along. Office 2016 is a major upgrade, but not in the way you’d first suppose.
