Microsoft Office 2016 What’s New

Introducing Office 2016

We just installed the new Microsoft Office 2016 today and so far, impressed. There are many similarities to Office 2013, but some of the subtle changes look good so far.

Opening up Office

When you first launch one of the new 2016 applications, you are prompted to enter your email address you signed up for the download with, or enter the product key.

I selected to enter the product key.

Setup was complete after this.

If you want to change the colour scheme of Office, this is found the same way in the previous version.

Go to the File menu

Select Options

You have the choice between the default, Colorful, Dark Grey or White. Dark grey is too dark grey, white is too white but (dare I say), Colorful is just right.

Random Office Tip

Scroll through the Ribbon – don’t bother clicking the menus, did you know that you can scroll through the ribbon? Just hover your mouse over and scroll with the wheel – time saver!
