Have You Left Word Behind? Are You Coming Back?
- What a disaster office 2016 and 365 and 369 is your internet goes down you have no office to use i will stay with office 2007 and 2010 only they work great i do not like a disaster
- I recently saw an article on the net saying that Microsoft will block any 'free' software one tries to use with the free Windows 10 upgrade. Does anyone know if this true? Also, another article stated a rumor that Microsoft will start charging a monthly or annual fee for updates, possibly on a sliding scale. Does anyone know about this?
- i am very confused, i downloaded this and now i am not quite sure what to do after that. please explain
- Are you sure this is legal?
- What? No mention of Open Office? I've used it for years. It's legitimately free, and cross compatible with Word.
- WHY PAY REDICULOUS PRICES--GOOGLE DOCS DOES A GOOD JOB-----I LIKED WORD BUT GAVE IT UP--DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR EXPENSIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS
- Yes google docs is excellent because it's free, but it is lacking compared to word. Google docs doesn't allow online professors to read submitted papers.
- The problem for me is I have chosen android devices that seem incompatible with these apps. Both my aging Samsung note 10.1 and my Sony xperia z can not have them.
- A new version of LibreOffice just came out, and it has improved import and export of Microsoft proprietary formats. It runs on Linux natively (plus other, inferior operating sytems).All your 'free alternatives' above have reduced functionality.
- Justin bieber top songs download mr jatt. WPS Office is free, a clone of Microsoft and works awesome :)
- Office Online..I liked it better when it first came out, when it was called Google Docs. ;)
- Though not free, a lot of corporations are part of the Microsoft Home User program allowing employees of these companies to purchase full blown office for $9.95. You will receive a download link with your key. If you want a physical disc, it's another $20. A great deal not hevily advertised in most companies. Search for the HUP website and entrer your corporate email address to see if your company is a member.
- If you absolutely have to have Office with mobile/online access, I can see why some would want Office 365, especially with a low monthly price of $7. Just keep in mind that you can get an installed version of Office 2013 for $120 on amazon, which means that if you can live without the cloud access of 365, if you plan on using Office more than 18 months your one time purchase on amazon will be cheaper in the long run. I've been using Office 2010 for 5 years now and buying the installed version has saved me a ton of moolah.Of course, if you prefer OpenOffice or LibreOffice, you don't have to pay anything, but I like the additional features that MS Office brings (such as speed, for one, although there are others) and so I use MS Office.
- Why do you guys at MakeUseOf always forget to mention Office 2010 Starter edition when talking about free Microsoft Office versions? Why better than viewer, offline and available for Windows. Basic versions of Excel 2010 and Word 2010 included. That only leaves you to install PowerPoint viewer and you're good to go with Microsoft Office without paying!
In response to feedback we’ve received from our customers, we’ve made several updates to the navigation interface in the newest versions of OneNote. This article contains tips to help you get going quickly.
A simpler layout — with more room for your notes
The OneNote app window in the Windows and Mac versions now offers more note-taking space by providing an easier way to control the navigation interface. You can choose to display the notebook, section, and page navigation panes whenever you need them, and then hide them again when you’re done — leaving you to focus on your work, your thoughts, and your ideas.
- The Navigation button toggles the navigation panes on ( ) or off ( ). Click it to display your current notebook’s hierarchy, to switch between pages, sections, and notebooks, or to create and organize sections, pages, and notebooks. Click the button again to hide the navigation panes and return to your current page.
- The Search button provides an entry point to search for keywords and phrases in specific places in your notes — or across all of your notebooks. Besides text, you can also search for any tags that you’ve applied to selected notes. Click any search result in the list to jump to its location in your notes.
- The Recent Notes button displays a chronological list of pages that you’ve recently viewed or edited, as well as the sections and notebooks they’re found in. This is helpful when you need to quickly switch back and forth between pages in different sections or different notebooks, or when you want to quickly continue taking notes on a different computer or device.Tip: The Recent Notes button is currently only available in OneNote for Windows 10. However, if you’re using OneNote for Mac, you can easily browse and open recent notes by clicking File > Open Recent on the menu bar.
Get quick access to your notebooks, sections, and pages
If you’ve previously used OneNote on your computer or device, it will open the last notebook and page that you last worked in.
To view the hierarchy of your current notebook, click the Navigation button near the upper left of the OneNote app window. The pages and sections in your current notebook are displayed in two navigation panes — sections on the left, and pages on the right. To switch to any other section or page, click its title.
To switch to a different notebook that you’ve previously opened, click the Notebooks dropdown arrow that appears above the section and page lists.
In the Notebooks list that appears, click the name of the notebook you want to open. If no other notebooks are shown in the list, or you’re not seeing the notebook you want, click More Notebooks to open any additional notebooks that are available in the cloud account with which you’re currently signed into OneNote.
Add new sections, pages, and notebooks
In OneNote, your notebooks never run out of space. You can easily add more pages or sections to any notebook — and you can add new notebooks to separate your work by your subjects and projects, or by the locations in which you take notes (for example, at home, at school, or at work).
Start by clicking the Navigation button to display the navigation panes, and then do any of the following:
