The new Smart Lookup feature lets you find facts and such through the Bing search engine. It can see the context of selected text by examining surrounding content and then try to provide relevant results. I usually jump out to a browser to do a search, but I can see how this adjustment might make work a little easier.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 365: Tell Me
Sometimes you don't want help, you only want answers. You want the exact tool you need, not instructions on where to find it. The new Tell Me feature in www.office.com/setup lets you type a few words and get the exact one-click link to the relevant tool. Don't teach me how to fish; hand me the fishing pole, please.
Outlook 365: Recent documents
Have you ever finished a document (an invoice, a spreadsheet, a PowerPoint presentation) that you want to email, but it's buried who knows where in your PC's folder structure? Until you find it, you can't attach it to that email. The new recent-documents feature in Outlook 365 shows you the documents you've recently worked on in the Office apps, so you don't have to hunt for them on your PC. When I saw this feature, I asked myself, "Why didn't they think of this years ago?" I'm happy it's here now.
Keynote produces slightly more impressive presentations than even PowerPoint, but these apps exist only on Apple's platform, while Microsoft www.office.com/setup 365 for the Mac at Amazon far surpasses them in power and cross-platform compatibility.Everyone gets annoyed at Microsoft Office sometimes, but for anyone with real work to do, it's almost impossible to imagine living without it. Office 365, all in all, is a spectacular achievement and the no-contest Editors' Choice in its class.
