Office 365, meanwhile, gets new features regularly – all of the new stuff in Office 2019 is already available to Office 365 users. Office 2019 won't receive any feature improvements over time, apart from security fixes and bug-squashing updates. The 3D model support we've already referred to is included in PowerPoint as well, and you can now export a slideshow as a 4K video, should you find that a better option for sharing your work with others.
Various other tweaks and enhancements to features like PivotTables are included too.Īlso as mentioned above, PowerPoint gets an impressive new Morph transition, and better support for digital inking (as with Word and Excel). You can also now drop 3D models into your spreadsheets and view them from all angles. Over in Excel, you've got similar improvements to the inking capabilities, as well as a smattering of new functions and new chart types to get your teeth into. Also new is a Focus mode that strips away the surrounding distractions when you need to just read through something on-screen (like the reading mode in most browsers). In Word, you've got improved translation, text-to-speech, and text spacing options, as well as better support for stylus pens and digital scribbles within your documents. There's also support for having your messages read out loud, and better time zone support in the calendar component. Still, it's guaranteed to do a fine job of managing your emails across multiple accounts, and now features a new Focused inbox for your most important messages only.Īs we mentioned above, Outlook's new Focused inbox attempts to identify the emails that are most important to you, and pushes the rest into the background (though you need a Microsoft Exchange account to use it).
Outlook – The one email, calendar, contacts and tasks application to rule them all, Outlook continues to impress, though like Excel it hasn't been blessed with many upgrades in recent years.
It might not be as lean as some of its newer rivals (like Google Slides) but it's hard to beat in terms of overall capabilities. PowerPoint – The all-powerful presentation tool gets some new tricks in Office 2019, including support for advancing slides with Bluetooth pens, a new zoom interface for jumping between slides, and a cool morph transition. New features have been thin on the ground in recent years, but that's only because it already has everything you're going to need – from crunching the numbers on the annual budget to organizing the tea rota. Excel – Packed with functions, no other spreadsheet program really comes close to Excel in terms of advanced capabilities.
