What is Office 365?
"Office 365" refers to a subscription plan that includes access to
Office applications, plus other productivity services. This plan offers
the latest, fully installed versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access. Note: Publisher and
Access are available on PC only.
Not only do you receive free Office applications for your home PC or
Mac, users can install these applications across multiple computers
and devices. Applications will work on PCs, Macs, Android tablets,
Android phones, iPads, and iPhones.
There are several other advantages of installing Office 365. When
you have an active Office 365 subscription, you will always have the most up-to-date version of the
applications. In addition, you also receive a terabyte of cloud storage with this plan.
Multiple people can edit the same document at once
Move over Google Docs, with Office 365, multiple users can edit a document, at the same time, in Word,
PowerPoint or Excel. You can immediately see the changes, as they are made, and who is editing the file.
This is great for group projects or groups that have members who can’t make it the meeting.
