Microsoft has created some basic free tutorials to help you how to get started using Microsoft Office 2016. As the main programming interface hasn’t changed much in this version, the tutorials mostly focus on the the new co-authoring, sharing and cloud integration features now available.
Co-authoring allows you and your colleagues to collaborate on a document by using the real time co-authoring capability in Word and PowerPoint. This new capability allows you to see everyone’s changes immediately as they happen. Essentially, you first need to save your documents to OneDrive or SharePoint Online so others can access them. Next, you invite people to edit the documents with you. When they open and work on the document in Word 2016 or PowerPoint 2016 or on office.com, you’ll see each other’s changes as soon as they’re made. You can view the tutorials from Microsoft on how to do this here for Word documents and PowerPoint Presentations.
The new Share capability is another cool feature that allows you to share your documents in the cloud using OneDrive or Office 365 SharePoint right from within the application using the new Share option available on the Ribbon. You can also share a copy of your documents by sending them as email attachments. You can view the tutorials from Microsoft on how to share your documents here for Word 2016 for Windows, PowerPoint 2016 and Excel 2016.
One Drive Integration allows you to save and access your Office documents from anywhere and any device by first saving them to OneDrive.com. This will allow you to pick up anywhere you left off and continue to co-author with others from the comfort of your office, home, or even on the go. In order to to save your documents online with OneDrive you will need to create an account and sign in to Office. Once you have your files saved in OneDrive, you can then access them from any computer, tablet, or phone by using the OneDrive website. You can view the tutorials on OneDrive Integration here.
