Editor's Notes
- This is a short presentation to introduce some of the more significant changes in the newest version of Microsoft Office
- The current version of MS Office used on workstations is 2010
- The next version to be rolled out will be Office 365
- In the short talk I will focus on three areas of change and how the update could improve the productivity.
- The first section will look at what’s new in Office
- Next we will look at a couple of the applications in the Office Suite that will make collaboration easier…
- And to help make more informed decision making.
- Let’s start with what is new.
- Firstly, as soon as you turn on it can be seen that there is a new look and feel to Office.
- It is much flatter and cleaner – capture of this presentation
- The way we consume the software has changed. Office 365 is a subscription product – or in other words it is rented.
- Previously each user had to buy a copy (or licence) to use the software.
- Once purchased
- The software could be installed on each workstation.
- So what do I mean by renting
- You subscribe to Office 365
- Then you can download it to each Workstation
- Or device that you need Office 365 The exact number of devices you can install Office 365 will depend on the subscription type.
- Office 365 is now designed for the cloud. Your files are stored in the cloud
- And where ever you are you can sign in to office and access your documents and application.
- Office 365 can be used on other devices – Maybe everything is being a bit optimistic but it is available on
- PCs and Macs, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. But not on my phone.
- More and more devices now offer or rely on touchscreens as the way users interact with the apps.
- Office 365 – is designed to operate with touch screens Much of this presentation was prepared on a Microsoft Surface.
- To summarise
- Putting these aside for a moment
- What is not so new?
- Well most things in Office 365 will already be familiar to users of previous version of Office – especially 2010 The changes in the features and functionality of Office that updates bring are incremental rather than radical.
- However, Microsoft have taken the opportunity ‘ to tidy up’ the interface. So some of you favourite features and tools might not have actually disappeared but just moved to a different menu.
- To illustrate the change in Office I am going to show some of the changes in two apps
- Word introduces features that should make collaborative working easier.
- And the new features in Excel are there to help us make better sense of the data store in workbooks.
- Ok let’s look at word.
- Word now offers better support to our documents where ever they might be.
- The recently renamed - Skydrive
- Now that Word is available on many different devices with a wide variety of screen sizes.
- A new revision view, Simple Markup, provides a clean, uncomplicated view of your document, but you still see indicators where tracked changes have been made.
- The screen has been decluttered with changed indicated in the side bar.
- It is now easy to contact the author of the change within word.
- This is a bit like your kindle
- Doesn’t seem new but
- Word can open a PDF
- Then convert into a word document
- Which can be edited
- All of the features
- deliver
- The goal of making collaboration easier
- Pause and check everyone is ok
- Our workbooks are stuffed full of data Often we need to turn this data into information that can be used to make decisions.
- This is a feature I have been waiting for.
- As a user of a dual screen system – (best productivity improvement I have invested in)
- When we need the comments of our colleagues on the preparation of workbooks we can now collaborate
- If we have lync installed
- We can share our worksheet in a meeting.
- Pivot tables are used to present and analyse data.
- Create the layout of a PivotTable that uses one table or multiple tables by using one and the same Field List. Revamped to accommodate both single and multi-table PivotTables, the Field List makes it easier to find the fields you want in your PivotTable layout, switch to the new Excel Data Model by adding more tables, and explore and navigate to all of the tables. To learn more about it, see Use the Field List to arrange fields in a PivotTable.
- A PivotChart no longer has to be associated with a PivotTable. A standalone or de-coupled PivotChart lets you experience new ways to navigate to data details by using the new Drill Down, and Drill Up features. It’s also much easier to copy or move a de-coupled PivotChart. To learn more about it, see Create a PivotChart.
- Excel is a power tool to analyse data and present information in a clear and concise way. The data can be brought into the workbook from external sources.
- Connect to new data sources To use multiple tables in the Excel Data Model, you can now connect to and import data from additional data sources into Excel as tables or PivotTables. For example, connect to data feeds like OData, Windows Azure DataMarket, and SharePoint data feeds. You can also connect to data sources from additional OLE DB providers.
- To help present your data in the most suitable way
- And to help make more informed decision making.
