OFFICE 365 – WHAT IS IT?
• Office apps in the cloud (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint)
• Office mobile (get either Android or iPhone apps free)
• Online versions of Office anywhere there’s an internet connection
• Collaborate with documents in real time with co-workers
• Constant updates to Office (for those with Office 2016 Pro Plus)

WHEN YOU FIRST LOG IN
• Log in at
http://login.microsoftonline.com
and sign in with your O365
credentials
• As you click the Office 365 tab at
the upper left corner, all your
apps appear (only the Admin
sees the Admin tile)

OVERVIEW OF THE APPS

SETTING UP
YOUR O365
ACCOUNT
ONLINE
• After logging in, click your name in the upper
right and then click ‘My profile’ and you’ll be
taken to the app called Delve. This is where
you’ll personalize your account.

PERSONALIZE YOUR ACCOUNT
• Anywhere you see the little pencil icon means that
field is editable.
• Click on the icon and fill out the parts you want
• Then click on the camera icon and upload a photo
of you

PERSONALIZING
• Here’s a little more on the ‘About me’
section. This is probably used more in a
larger corporate setting where people
don’t know everyone.
• This section also has a list of recent
documents you’ve worked on
• Other people will also appear in this
section – if you click on the other
people, you’ll see what they want you
to see. You can make public what you
want and make other things private.

PERSONALIZE YOUR O365 THEME & START PAGE
• Click on ‘My account’
• Select a theme and a start page
• TIP: On most pages when you’re
in O365, you’ll need to click the
save changes button!

PERSONALIZE OFFICE DOCUMENTS
• When you start Office (from the
desktop), be sure to sign in with
your O365 credentials
• To do this, open Outlook, PPT,
etc. and click on ‘File’ then
‘Account’, and you can do
background, and theme
personalizations.
• Be sure to sign in (at the top)

PERSONALIZE OFFICE DOCUMENTS
• From then on, when
you open up an app,
you’ll be able to see a
list of your recent
documents

PERSONALIZE OFFICE – ADDING PLACES
IN THE BACK END OF OFFICE
• When in Word, Excel, or PPT, you can click on ‘Add
a Place’ and then add your OneDrive and SP
locations to save your documents to either of
these places.
• This saves time and you’ll then know where your
documents are located.

ONEDRIVE FOR BUSINESS | SHAREPOINT | TEAMS
• There’s ODFB that is part of your business/O365 subscription

used at the office because it’s not part of the business plan
• You can tell the difference because your company name will be next to the
OneDrive!

need to access from time to time

examples:

• Create lists and put meta data (detailed information) on files and folders for faster
search
