Benefitting from Office Online
Office Online is great for everyday work, especially for millennials who are accus- tomed to using a variety of Internet-connected devices running on different platforms. It runs on all major operating systems and web browsers.
If you’re a company that wants to foster a culture of collaboration and cooperation (who doesn’t?), then Office Online is a great solution to add to your toolkit.
You can also save on licensing costs with Office Online. If you have workers out in the field or assigned at retail stores who don’t need the full-fledged version of Office, you can assign them a cheaper license for access to just Office Online such as Office 365 Business Essentials or Office 365 E1. You can even save money on company-issued devices by allowing your employees to use their own devices to run Office Online.
Security features in the Office desktop applications such as SafeLinks are also available in Office Online. SafeLinks is a feature that proactively protects users when they click on malicious hyperlinks inside an Office document.
Boosting team collaboration, intelligently
You always start at https://office.com to access Office Online. From there you can run any of the online apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook.
Core authoring features in Word include table of contents, spell check, grammar check, picture editing (rotate, crop, drag and drop), numbered lists, bullet lists, and more. You can even have smileys as your bullets as shown in Figure 10-1!
