Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft 365 are subscription-based services that offer access to the latest Office applications, plus other features like online storage and email. You can choose from a variety of subscription plans, depending on your needs.
Get the apps on your devices
You need to be able to work on your documents and projects from anywhere, but you don’t have the Office software installed on all of your devices. Not having the Office software installed on all of your devices can be a real pain. You have to remember which device has the software installed so you can work on that document or project. Microsoft now offers free mobile apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneDrive. You can download them from your Android or iOS device store. These apps let you work on your cloud files from any up-to-date Web browser on an Internet-connected computer, without having to install the Office software on the computer.
Edit and convert to PDF
PDF conversion and editing is made easy with the integrated features in Microsoft Office 365. You can quickly convert a document to PDF format, make edits and save the changes. This allows you to easily share documents with others, without having to worry about formatting issues. Additionally, you can resume reading a PDF document where you left off, even on different devices.
Resume reading your Word documents
If you’re like most people, you have a lot of things on your plate. And between work, family and social obligations, it’s hard to find the time to read that book you’ve been wanting to finish or catch up on the news.
But what if there was a way to make reading easier? A way where you could pick up where you left off, even on different devices?
Well, there is! Microsoft Word has a feature called “Resume Reading” which allows you to do just that. With this feature enabled, Word automatically bookmarks the last page you were reading! So whether you’re using your laptop, tablet or phone, you can easily jump back into your document without having to scroll through pages of text.
Reply in-line to email without opening it
Reply in-line to email without opening it is a great feature because you can quickly respond to an email without having to open the email. This is helpful because you can stay organized and keep track of all your conversations in one window.
Work offline and upload changes later
One of the best features of Office 365 or Microsoft 365 is that you can choose to work offline on files. As soon as you reconnect to Internet, the new versions will be automatically uploaded to your storage. The new version will also be sent to any other connected device. This is really handy when you’re on a plane or somewhere without an Internet connection. You can keep working and save your changes until you have a chance to upload them later.
Work anywhere from any device
With Microsoft Office 365, you can work on your cloud files from any up-to-date Web browser on an Internet-connected computer. You don’t have to install the Office software on the computer.
You also get access to Office Mobile Apps so you can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneDrive directly from your smartphone or tablet while you’re on the move! Download them from your Android or iOS device store.
Use OneDrive cloud storage to share attachments
OneDrive is a cloud storage service that comes with Office 365 and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. It provides users with 50GB of storage for email, calendar, tasks, notes, contacts and attachments. You can save more space in your mailbox by using the OneDrive cloud storage to share attachments. The synced storage allows you to work offline on files and the changes will be automatically uploaded when you reconnect to the Internet.
50GB of email storage for each user
Microsoft Exchange Online offers 50GB of email storage for each user. This allows users to save space in their mailbox by using the OneDrive cloud storage to share attachments. You can also use the Resume Reading feature to pick up where you left off, even on different devices!
Retrieving the right version of a document
Microsoft Office has made it easier than ever to retrieve the right version of a document. With their new co-authoring feature, you can see which changes were made, by whom and when. If necessary, you can even revert back to a previous version of the file.
Enable the Reading Pane in Outlook to reply to email without even opening it
Outlook’s Reading Pane allows you to preview the email content and hit Reply to send your response, in the same main Outlook window. Combine this feature with the Conversations View and you’ll see at a glance if you’ve already replied to an email. You won’t have to open different windows for each message.
Combine Conversation View with the Reading Pane for a comprehensive view of all messages related to an email chain
If you want to keep track of an email conversation, the best way to do it is by using the Conversation View and the Reading Pane together. The Conversation View will show you all the emails that are related to a certain conversation, while the Reading Pane will allow you to read and reply to the emails without having to open different windows. This will save you time and make it easier to keep track of all the messages in a conversation.
Use Office Web Apps from any computer with an Internet connection
Microsoft Office 365 comes with a range of features to make your work easier. One of these is the ability to use Office Web Apps from any computer with an Internet connection. You don’t have to install the Office software on the computer. This means you can access your cloud files from any up-to-date Web browser on an Internet-connected computer. You can also use Office Mobile Apps so you can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneDrive directly from your smartphone or tablet while you’re on the move!
