Computers labs and new computers currently being distributed
have been updated with Microsoft Office 2016. We have compiled a few of the new
features to take advantage of with this new update.
Outlook offers additional ribbon buttons.
You can archive items in Outlook with a single click by
using the Archive button. You also have new buttons to browse or add new
groups.
Mentions
In Outlook you can capture someone’s attention quickly by
using this new feature. When crafting an email or calendar invitation, type the
@ symbol and the first few letters of the person’s name into the body of the
message.
Smart Lookup Offers Extra Information
Highlight any parts of the text and use the Bing-powered
Smart Lookup feature to bring search results from the web.
Excel 2016 Has New Charts
New types of charts to represent data graphically are
included in this release. One such example is the treemap chart, which can be found
in Insert > Insert Hierarchy Chart > Treemap.
Zoom for PowerPoint
This new feature lets you move to different slides and
sections of your presentation quickly. Summary Zoom puts the pieces of each
slide you select into a single slide. Slide Zoom lets you navigate slides in
any order you choose. Section Zoom allows you to pop back to previous sections
easily.
