Microsoft Office 2016 has come to the sale on Wednesday (New Zealand time), so the real-time collaboration, better integration of Skype and quick access to many options to suite which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Updates are big jumps. But Microsoft, which saw long-time customers are turning to Google, Apple and others for word processing, spreadsheets and other applications of the competition, says Office 2016 will improve on the previous versions.

There are new icons or menus to fashion, said Shawn Villaron, group manager for PowerPoint. The best way to evaluate the latest version is "looking at new scenarios that are enabling," he said in an interview. "We believe that the version of Office 2016 is a big change of" productivity "for" team productivity.'"

New Features Include:

Outlook tries to determine how to handle incoming mail and automatically organized for you.
A new search engine called Tell me PowerPoint, Word and Excel allows you to find a function to say "columns" and pull up the appropriate menu immediately.

• When not connected to the Internet, some functions will automatically turn off while the document remains accessible.
• Groups in Outlook for a corporate team or just a group of friends planning a trip to manage messages and documents.
• Word allows two people work on a document and see their changes in real time.
• Skype video calls can sit comfortably at the top of a document while editing.

Since the initial features will not work in all programs at launch, the release can be seen as planting a flag, Villaron, showing the direction Microsoft is heading said.

With more software and more features than most of them, the new Office could still take some effort.
