Microsoft Office 2016: the most important innovations

Microsoft Office 2016 will be released in 2015 with some practical innovations. We have summarized which these are for you in this overview.

Office 2016: innovations in Outlook

With some innovations, you can manage emails even better with Outlook 2016.

The search has been revised and finds more results faster than before.
You can now precisely control the time period for downloaded mails.
Outlook should also work much more efficiently, even if the internet connection is slow or unstable.
Like Outlook 2013 with Service Pack 1, Outlook 2016 uses the MAPI HTTP protocol if possible. This connection is more stable, faster and more secure.
Another innovation is the history of sent attachments. If you want to send an attachment that you have already sent to another person, you can simply select it from the history.

Some new features, such as intelligent assistants, also make working with Word, Excel, Powerpoint & Co. easier.

Images are now much easier to integrate. Word, Excel and Co. automatically recognize, for example, whether an image is rotated and adapt it.
Microsoft has integrated a new search assistant at the top. If you start typing there, suitable help will be searched for.
The assistant also understands colloquially formulated sentences and gives you the right answer.
For example, you can search for functions in the ribbon. A possible search phrase would be: "How do I change the line spacing?".
The most recently searched tasks are clearly displayed in a history. This enables you to quickly reach commands that you are looking for more often.
Some graphical adjustments have also been made: The ribbon is now colored in every program and thus increases the overview if you are working with Word and Excel, for example.
If necessary, you can also deactivate the new look and return to the old familiar look.
