Chapter 1
Organizing Office for Windows 10
In This Chapter
Understanding the various versions of Office
Installing the touch-friendly Universal Office
Tips to get more done, faster
In this chapter, I look at the touch-friendly “Universal” version of Office and how it works with (and against!) Windows 10.
If your only interest is in the old-fashioned mouse-centric version of Office, you have my sympathies and my encouragement (only slightly tongue-in-cheek, this coming from somebody who started with Word 1.0), but the problems and opportunities with Office 365/Office 2016 are very different, well-documented, and grist for great books such as Peter Weverka’s Office 2016 All-In-One For Dummies (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).

There are so many different versions of Office, it’s hard to count them all. Microsoft is only gradually sorting out all the names. Not all Offices are the same — not by a long shot — but in general they’ll all share the same documents without clobbering them.
That’s a big advantage over some rivals.
