Chapter 10Introducing Office Online
Office Online (formerly Office Web Apps) is the cloud version of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. The apps allow users to create high-quality documents, simultaneously make changes to the documents with coauthors, share these documents from a browser without the need for the desktop application, and more. With Office Online, you’re no longer tethered to your office desk to be productive. As long as you have an internet connection, you can use any of the popular browsers from most common devices to access your documents, and even quickly pick up from where you left off in your last session.
You don’t have to give up beauty when you create documents on Office Online — your visual-rich documents look identical to documents created with the Office desktop application. Formatting styles, graphs, charts, and data are retained when you open and share documents from Office Online. Flat, boring documents have no place in Office Online.
In this chapter, we’ll show you the experience of using Office Online with several cloud storage services. We’ll also touch on recently added features and functions to enhance your productivity.
