There are plenty of other versions of Office that are still supported by Microsoft and we highly recommend going with one of those instead of Office For Office , if you have been issued with a PIN post-purchase on a product key card , you can download it directly from the getmicrosoftkey website. These are apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, along with Outlook and OneNote, all of which have been optimised for touch and mobile devices which means that you won't need a mouse and a keyboard to use them.
However, you will need to have Windows 10 installed to run them and clicking on the links below will open Store, Microsoft's equivalent of Google Play, to download the required file. You won't be able to sideload them or download them as a discrete package.

View Deal. When it's a static presentation you're working on--such as a publication, newsletter, or pamphlet--Office lets you color-correct and add artistic effects and borders to images so you won't need a third-party image editor. We found many of these features to be quite intuitive once we were able to track them down in their appropriate Ribbon tabs.
Like many features in Office , it's not the functionality that can be challenging, but rather the getting used to the feature that is. Outlook has seen many notable feature improvements in Office , which will save users time in their daily e-mail tasks if they get past the initial learning curve. The new Conversation View lets you group threads together so you can view an entire conversation in one place.
With plenty of competition in Google's online Gmail search tools, Outlook needed to make attractive new features to continue to be competitive, and this feature makes searching through e-mail much easier.
You also can run Clean Up to strip out redundant messages and threads so you have just the info you need without scanning through several e-mails. Microsoft got mixed reviews during beta testing of this feature, but we think that this might be one of those features like the Ribbon that will become more useful as users become acclimated with a new way of doing things.
A new feature called Quicksteps lets you create macros for common daily tasks like regular forwarding of specific e-mails to third parties. Say you have sales e-mails from several parties that are sent to you on a regular basis, but need to go to another person within your company.
With Quicksteps you could custom create a macro that would automatically send that e-mail on with the click of a button. Like the Conversation View features, Quicksteps is not immediately intuitive, but after some study, it will save you an enormous amount of time processing e-mails in the future.
Even with the tweaks for simplifying your e-mail processing, Outlook still seems more in tune with large business clients than with smaller companies that could probably get by with online alternatives. New coauthoring in Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote, as well as advanced e-mail management and calendaring capabilities in Outlook, make collaboration much easier, reducing the time it takes to finish large projects with several contributors.
Word and PowerPoint now have a syncing mechanism to avoid sudden changes while you're working on a project a major concern in the beta. We wonder how people will react to this specific change, since now the only way to have live coauthoring without the need to sync up changes will be through OneNote. In any case, offering access to shared documents in key business applications from anywhere is something any international business or business traveler can appreciate.
Google Docs, though not as elegant, are extremely easy to share with other users, so offering OneNote as the only option may not be enough.
Live edits in OneNote are only one of the new features for Microsoft's notebook-like application, however. Sketching out ideas, collaborating in real time, and adding images, video, audio, and text are all available in OneNote as it sits to the side of what you're working on. This enables you to drop sections of text, images, and other tidbits into OneNote's interface to keep all your ideas in one place. An upgraded Navigation Bar makes it easy to jump between notebooks to copy or merge information.
When you're collaborating on a project, OneNote now features automatic highlighting so you can quickly find changes to your notebook since your last save. Features like these, along with new visual styles and a Web version with live changes, make OneNote the key collaborative tool of the suite. Our only question is whether people will accept OneNote as their mainstay for live collaboration since it has less name recognition than bigger apps in the suite. In addition to upgraded collaboration tools, you'll now be able to work on your documents anywhere with slimmed down Web-based versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote.
The Web based components will make sharing information easier whether it's from your home computer, your phone, or when you're traveling for business. The Web apps preserve the look and feel of a document regardless of the device you're working on--even if it's your smartphone. These apps seem to work as advertised mostly, but we wonder how well the Web-based versions will work when server loads reach into the several millions of users.
What sets these apps apart from Google Docs and other services is that your documents and spreadsheets retain their formatting, giving Office 's Web apps a leg up against its online counterparts.
Excel has received some tweaks as well, with easier-to-read, color-coded spreadsheets and smart tools to bring in the information you need. In Excel , you can flip through the tabs to access formulas, insert diagrams and charts, and quickly import data from connected sources. A new feature called Sparklines lets you create a small chart in a single cell. This lets users compare data across multiple cells with added graphical elements to make them easier to read and spot trends over time. These moves seem to suggest that Microsoft is trying to make spreadsheets a little more accessible to a wider swath of users.
We welcome the new customization features, especially as Excel retains the powerful tools users have come to expect. Those who are involved in creating their own publications and newsletters will appreciate new changes to Publisher With several available templates, you can add your personal business logo graphics and branding and then preview them in real time across each template style.
Microsoft has added ligatures and Stylistic Alternates to fonts so you can add your own personal touches to your publications. Like the other applications we've talked about in Office , Publisher offers the same new useful image-editing tools, so effects, color-correction, cropping, and more are only a few clicks away. Late to our labs and late to the game, some might say, with Google and Yahoo leading the pack are some of the new features that Windows Live Hotmail will support when it launches to all users in July or August.
Microsoft says users will be offered the option to upload Office documents or images to their SkyDrives, and then send a link of their work to a friend who uses Hotmail.
