Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 – detailed description

Microrosft Office is a collection of programs that is well-known to almost every computer user. The latest edition from 2021 has gained a refreshed interface and the option to use a dark theme, which more and more people are opting for in many systems and applications. Many performance enhancements have been introduced, speeding up work on files and improving existing functions for more frequent and active use.

In the PowerPoint program, it is now possible to record presentations (along with the presenter's voice). This is particularly important, for example, when you want to save some materials for later, even for people who couldn't attend the lesson at the scheduled time. Slideshow presentations prepared in Microsoft's program can also be further enhanced with new ready-made elements added to the Premium Creative Content base. And if new ideas come to mind during the creation process that you'd like to use later, you can easily jot them down in the OneNote app, where you can organize your thoughts into pages and sections within notes.

In Excel, the ability to work with dynamic arrays has been introduced, as well as the XMATCH function for improved matching and searching. Another new feature, LET, allows you to assign names to calculation results. The business office package also allows you to save files in the ODF 1.3 format, which is a big advantage for those who share files with individuals without an Office suite license and who only use free software. In Word, a Draw tab has been introduced, featuring tools familiar to users of professional graphic programs such as Photoshop. These include the pencil eraser, lasso, and ruler. Working on documents now takes on a new dimension!

Kann ein Unternehmen ohne Office-Lizenz funktionieren? Es kann, 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.

Therefore, to use office programs legally and fully, it's necessary to purchase an official license that allows program use in businesses. The Office suite is the most popular set of programs, well-known to almost every computer user. Microsoft Office 2021 Home & Business also includes all the features that were introduced as novelties in the previous edition, such as the 2019 version. These include tools for editing and translating texts and, particularly interesting for business use, the handwriting feature. What is this? Now, you can use your finger, pen, or mouse to write or underline text and input various types of patterns. To facilitate document preparation in foreign languages, Microsoft Translator has also been created. Built into Microsoft programs, it suggests words in the chosen language.

Internet connectivity also enhances work time optimization, as the business office package allows real-time sharing and editing of all documents and files. This means that projects prepared within a team can be reviewed and improved more quickly by collaborators, making work on them easier. What else speeds up business operations? The intelligent search function, which allows you to search for all necessary information on the web without leaving the program windows.

The business Office package also includes sound notifications that signal errors and suggest specific changes to the content. Of course, the changes and improvements don't only apply to text! Moving graphics, scalable vectors... Plus, very easy animation preparation, which further engages the recipients of our documents and presentations. In the PowerPoint program, inserting 3D graphics objects has also been made easier.

Naturally, the spreadsheet handling program has also received new features. For Excel, support for LaTeX equations has been added, making mathematical and physical calculations much easier, along with seamless chemical formula entry. This feature is especially useful for people in professions related to the exact sciences, as it will undoubtedly improve their daily work. The program also includes 6 new types of charts, giving data visualization a new dimension. An interesting option is Timeline, which also allows for the aesthetic presentation of time-related data. 

As befits a reputable brand, Microsoft also prioritizes inclusivity. The accessibility checking feature allows files to be verified for readability by people with disabilities. This set of features will surely prove useful in many companies!
