It has no lag when managing multiple workbooks and large datasets so that you can make data-based business decisions in a more timely manner. PowerPoint offers new advanced content creation tools, including integrating video and voice narration, even live camera feeds. Word has a new Focus Mode that hides non-essential options and toolbars to minimize distractions.
Accessibility features have been upgraded, such as Outlook’s accessibility checker, which will flag poor formatting and unclear language issues to ensure emails meet standards for effective communications. The user interface has been modernized, as well, for more intuitive navigation that new users will appreciate. Even better, the interface is consistent throughout all of the applications.
Touch and pen support has also been updated, making them more responsive and providing a better experience on tablets and hybrid devices. Easily customizable pre-designed templates help users create spreadsheets, presentations, and professional-looking documents. Small businesses will find these useful for presenting a polished image without graphic design experience.
Collaboration tools have been improved with a deeper integration of Microsoft Teams, chat and commenting features, and more. Exciting new AI-powered features are now available, as well. Best of all, this license is a one-time purchase, so there’s no need to worry about expensive subscriptions anymore.
