Microsoft 365 comes with plenty of apps that most users are already familiar with like Word, Outlook, and OneNote.
But even if users are already proficient in these and the other apps included in Microsoft 365, they still might be missing out on the many additional features that Microsoft 365 offers.
There are perks and benefits included in Microsoft 365 that aren’t available in the traditional desktop versions.
That makes them easy to miss but don’t worry. We’ve got you covered! Here’s how to get the most out of your Microsoft 365 apps.
Microsoft Editor
The Microsoft Editor included in Microsoft 365 provides more than just grammar and spell-check. It checks for clarity and conciseness and provides concrete tips to help improve your writing.
Those tips can make a big difference when it comes time to draft a memo to shareholders or write messages to important clients.
Editor works in Word, Outlook, and LinkedIn, but it also works in non-Microsoft sites such as Gmail and Google Docs. Writing errors won’t be safe anywhere!
Premium Microsoft 365 App Templates
Premium templates in Microsoft 365 provide hundreds of high-quality, professional templates for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
There are templates for everything from resumes to posters and flyers, to calendars, to project management and habit-trackers. If you need to create something and don’t know where to start, there’s probably a premium template to get you on your way.
Manage Your Money in Excel
With Microsoft 365, you can connect your financial accounts to Excel to manage and view them more conveniently.
This means you can manage all your accounts in one place.
This feature allows you to consolidate all your transactions and see how you’re really spending your money. With these insights into your expenses and spending habits, you can set and achieve financial goals.
Plus, Excel includes customized charts and tools specifically meant to help your team manage your business finances.
PowerPoint Designer
PowerPoint presentations have been a staple in business communication for decades and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. Designing a great presentation yourself can be time-consuming and frustrating, though. That’s where PowerPoint Designer comes in.
PowerPoint Designer drastically simplifies the process of creating unique, engaging, and professional slide decks.
It automatically recommends layouts, formatting, and images based on the text you enter. The tool helps you incorporate more visuals (images, charts, illustrations, icons, etc.) and less text into your presentations.
This helps to captivate the audience and prevents the “eyes glazing over” that often happens in text-heavy presentations.
With just a few clicks, your presentations will go from average to memorable.
1 TB of OneDrive Cloud Storage
Cloud storage is essential for businesses these days. The 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage that’s included with Microsoft 365 provides effortless backup and sync.
You won’t have to worry about losing data when your computer crashes anymore and you’ll be able to access your files across devices, like from a smartphone.
Files in OneDrive are protected against cyber- and ransomware attacks so you won’t have to worry about digital security either.
These tips about the tools and features included in your Microsoft 365 apps will go a long way but the best way to get the most out of your subscription is to consult an expert.
