Microsoft after a few months of testing has released the 2019 update for its Office package for Mac and Windows 10, here are the main new features present
After the initial testing period, which started in April 2018, the new Office 2019 from Microsoft is ready for official release on computers running Windows and macOS operating systems. The update, of course, will be available for all those who already have a subscription to the Office package. Those who would instead buy a subscription now would automatically receive the latest version.
The new Office update should present several new features especially for users of the “standalone” version and not for those who use Office 365. In the cloud version, in fact, many of the features that will be available in Office 2019 have already been introduced.
Of course, the update only concerns private users or companies that still use the offline version of Office. On the other hand, those who use Office 365 online with constant updates and cloud services the upgrade will come automatically without the need to do anything.
What new features on Office 2019
The first new Office 2019 features concern those who find themselves using PowerPoint on a daily basis. In the new update there will be several original animations, which will make slides even more creative and customizable. In general, on the other hand, both on Word and Excel we’ll find new features for those who use documents or spreadsheets from a device with a stylus, such as tablets or 2-in-1 computers. Also of interest is the new function for the analysis of data entered into a document, very useful in the case of large files to search for the most important elements without wasting too much time.
There will be a small restyling for all internal services of Office, and therefore Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access and Publisher. It should be remembered that these last 4 are only available on Windows computers and not on Mac. In all the applications of the productivity suite of the Redmond company we will also find the new customizable toolbar very convenient to find with one click all the tools we use most frequently. Attention finally if we have a Windows computer: as recalled by Microsoft a long time ago are finished the time of updates for versions prior to Windows 10 of the main programs of Redmond. For this reason, if we don’t have a PC with Windows 10 we won’t be able to download and install the update to Office 2019.
