Microsoft Office Home & Business 2019 – detailed description

Kann ein Unternehmen ohne Office-Lizenz funktionieren? Vielleicht, aber warum? 😉 Aus dem Arbeitsalltag am Computer sind Basisprogramme, die eine Textbearbeitung, das Erstellen von Berichten, Diagramme, komplexe Analysen oder einfach den Kontakt zu anderen Mitarbeitern und Auftragnehmern per E-Mail ermöglichen, kaum mehr wegzudenken … Natürlich gibt es Programme, die unter Open-Source-Lizenzen laufen, aber meistens sind sie für einzelne Benutzer bestimmt und eine kommerzielle Nutzung ist verboten.

So, if you want to use Office programs entirely legally in a business setting, it's necessary to purchase an official license that allows for program use in businesses. The Office suite is the most popular program package that's practically familiar to every computer user. Compared to previous versions, Office 2019 has undergone changes including an updated and more user-friendly interface. Microsoft now also allows the use of a dark design, which can be essential when working long hours, taking eye health into consideration.

In addition to the overall appearance, the programs included in the package have received new features. These include tools for editing and translating texts, and, particularly interesting for business use, the handwriting function. What is that? From now on, you can write or underline text and enter various patterns with your finger, pen, or mouse. Microsoft Translator has also been developed to optimize document preparation in foreign languages. The integrated dictionary in Microsoft programs suggests words in the selected language.

The optimization of work time is enhanced by internet connectivity, as within the Office Home & Business 2019 package, it's possible to share and edit all documents and files in real-time. This allows projects created by teams to be reviewed and corrected faster by co-founders, facilitating the editing process. What else accelerates activities in a business? An intelligent search function that allows you to search for all the necessary information on the internet without leaving the program window.

For business purposes, Office also features built-in audio prompts that indicate errors and suggest specific content changes. Of course, the changes and improvements don't just affect text! Animated graphics, scalable vectors... and very easy animation creation to further engage recipients of documents and presentations we create. PowerPoint has also made it easier to insert 3D graphic objects.

Naturally, the spreadsheet program has received new features as well. Excel has added support for LaTex equations, making calculations in mathematics or physics much easier, and allowing for easy writing of chemical formulas. This is particularly useful for individuals in scientific professions, as it will undoubtedly improve their daily work. In addition, the program has added 6 new types of charts, giving data visualization a new dimension. An interesting option is also the timeline, which allows for aesthetic representation of data in relation to time. 

Microsoft, like any reputable brand, also cares about inclusivity. With the accessibility check, you can verify file readability for people with disabilities. Such a set of features will certainly work in many businesses!
