Windows and Office a Winning Combination
In the UK, we’ve got a long-standing tradition of winning combinations: fish and chips, tea and cake, bangers and mash. Somehow these duos just seem to go better together. When it comes to making computing more personal and productive Microsoft has its own winning combination: Office and Windows. Sure, it’s a combination that you’ve probably used for years, but with new capabilities in Windows 10 and Office 365, this duo is more powerful than ever before.
More natural interfaces with Ink
By using Windows Ink in Office, you’re able to work much more intuitively, using your digital pen to quickly turn thoughts into action. With Ink you’re able to naturally capture and share notes or mark-up documents. What’s more, the machine learning behind Ink can recognise and transform your handwritten notes. Imagine being able to scribble an equation that is instantly turned into a formula in Excel, or inking a quick comment that becomes text in Word, or drawing an idea that gets transformed into editable shapes and processes in PowerPoint or Visio. Together, Office and Ink help you drive ideas forward.
A smarter digital assistant with Cortana
If you’ve used Cortana to get updates on the weather or to help search for airline tickets, you may already have a sense of how powerful it can be as a digital assistant. When you use Cortana with Office, you’re able to unlock a new level of productivity. In addition to helping with emails and scheduling meetings, Cortana can surface relevant files and info before the meeting? It goes beyond just improving personal productivity to help improve the productivity of the whole group – creating a single view of all the files your team has worked on together, and reminding you of commitments you’ve made to the team.
More mobile computing
When you combine Windows with Office, you’re able to take Office with you wherever you go. Only Windows lets you use your phone to run Office apps on a bigger second screen giving you all the productivity of the full suite of Office in the palm of your hand. With your Windows device, you can connect to a larger screen and watch your apps seamlessly. Gone are the days of having to lug around a laptop to give a presentation, or having your team hunch over a single 5-inch screen for an ad-hoc collaboration session.
Faster to “Done”
Not only does Windows make your use of Office more natural, intelligent and mobile, it also helps you get things done faster. With Windows’ multi-tasking features, you can manage up to four Office apps on one screen simultaneously, which helps you to optimise your workspace.
When you put all these things together, you can see why Windows and Office together are a winning combination. If you already have Windows 10 and Office, spend some time experimenting with some of the advanced capabilities such as Cortana and Ink.
