Microsoft Office Software

Microsoft Office 2016 is the latest version of Microsoft鈥檚 productivity suite that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and more, and it will be made available to the SA国际传媒 Peter鈥檚 University campus community very soon! Through new and improved tools, it promises to improve productivity, increase efficiency and develop your creativity.

How Office 2016 Compares to Previous Versions

The biggest changes that took place between Office 2007 and Office 2010 were the addition of the customizable ribbon (the top menu bar), and 鈥淏ackstage view鈥 (file properties). Office 2013 improved on this by adding the 鈥淢odern Style Interface鈥 within applications, a new start screen, updated sync across devices, touchscreen compatibility, formatting, additional graphics options, and the ability to log in to your account. A few of the changes made in Office 2016 include new themes and functions, but mostly collaboration tools, features, and compatibility. The look and feel of Office 2016 is very similar to 2013 and 2010 – however these new features will greatly enhance your experience.
