This will be the Office applications in Windows 10
The Microsoft team is fully immersed in the creation of what will be its new operating system: Windows 10 However, after their presentations, they have shown that they are striving to create something bigger, serving as universal platform for a wide range of devices. Something that fully affects applications, one of the most problematic issues for Windows Phone , its mobile division.Thus, they would make these tools available to all devices that run on Windows 10 An issue that also fully touches their package office tools Another of the important topics shown in his latest keynote just a few days ago.
And that's because Microsoft has redesigned and recreated Word, Excel, PowerPoint applications , OneNote and Outlook from scratch taking into account two fundamental ideas: taking into account that they will be used in touch and portable devices, and that will be connected to the cloud What they call “mobile fist, cloud first” (mobile first, cloud first). For this reason, they now have new experiences and functionalities, although respecting the scheme of the classic versions so that they are recognizable and easy to use.
Thus, the Word tool, intended for the creation, collaboration and editing of documents , now it also has a complete reading experience And it doesn't matter if it is used in a tablet, a smartphone, the computeror the large panel Microsoft Surface Hub The content adapts to each screen despite being the same application. In addition, this reading mode takes advantage of Bing technology to offer user translations, definitions or images, and related web pages
There are also new features in the Excel spreadsheet tool And it is that its redesign focused on touch devices allows itscontrol, the creation of graphs and tables and the rest of the functions, can be carried out with your fingers , without missing a mouse and keyboard.All this by saving the classic options in the drop-down menu at the bottom. Something very similar to what also happens with PowerPoint, the application of slideshows. Now this tool also has the Ink Tool function, which allows you to make annotations instantly on the slides themselvesto highlight an item or content.
But not only the classic Office package has been improved Other office tools will also have improvements and a new look in Windows 10 This is the case of OneNote, created to take notes, save any content and write down ideas All this with the possibility of collaborate and share content through an application with an attractive and useful design , regardless of the device on which it is used.Also the renewed application of Outlook will have a lot to say in Windows 10 On the one hand thanks to its redesign and new functions, which allows to manage all email with gestures, focusing on being used from touch devices, and taking advantage of the features of Microsoft Word for writing, attaching tables and files, etc But also for now incorporating a useful calendario Something that transforms this application into a good utility professional for those who have to write down all their appointments and manage their contacts by mail.
At the moment these applications are still in development, so we will have to wait to enjoy them. The good thing is that Microsoft has already confirmed that they will arrive preinstalled and for free in the devices with small screens, that is, smartphones and tablets that work with Windows 10While they will be available in the store Windows Store for the rest of the devices. They have also confirmed to be working on the Suite Office 2016, which will arrive in the middle of this 2015
