Chapter 10 Introducing Office
Online
Office Online is the cloud version of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. The apps allow users to create high-quality documents, simultaneously make changes to the documents with coau-
thors, share these documents from a browser without the need for the desktop application, and more. With Office Online, you’re no longer tethered to your office desk to be productive. As long as you have an Internet connection, you can use any of the popular browsers from most common devices to access your docu- ments and even quickly pick up from where you left off in your last session.
And don’t worry; you don’t have to give up beauty when you create documents on Office Online. Your visual-rich documents look identical to documents created with the Office desktop application. Formatting styles, graphs, charts, and data are retained when you open and share documents from Office Online. Flat, boring documents have no place in Office Online. The most common features and func- tions are available in Office Online from the ribbon similar to the desktop version.
In this chapter, we show you the new updates to the Office Online experience and touch on recently added features and functions to enhance your security posture.
