MS Office 2016 Professional Plus - the decisive more for business

MS Office 2016 Professional Plus is the most comprehensive edition of Microsoft Office version 2016, it contains all the programs needed in a company not only to manage the usual daily project tasks, but also to communicate effectively with others and manage extensive databases: In addition to the classic Office programs Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, Professional Plus with OneNote and Publisher offers ways to digitally record and share ideas and inspirations, as well as professionally design and publish publications for advertising and other purposes.

The decisive plus of this Office edition, however, is the integration of Access, the software for the uncomplicated creation of database applications, and above all as an exclusive component: Skype for Business - for a wide range of possibilities in communication.

All the programs included in Office 2016 Professional Plus:

• Word 2016 - create texts in many formats for business and personal use
• Excel 2016 - complex calculations for accounting, statistics and more
• PowerPoint 2016 - design informative presentations
• Outlook 2016 - for organizing e-mails and contacts and planning appointments and tasks
• OneNote 2016 - record notes spontaneously and share them with others
• Publisher 2016 - design all types of print media in a printable manner
• Access 2016 - design database applications for business
• Skype for Business 2016 - secure and diverse communication possibilities

Office 2016 Professional Plus generally also offers some innovations compared to the previous version - including the following features:

• New Office designs are available for all editions, with which the individual programs can be individually colored: In "Dark Gray" mode, strong contrasts make it easier to work, while the "Colored" design brings a modern look.
• The intelligent "Insights" wizards link Bing searches to individual Office programs, while "Tell Me" makes finding editing functions even faster.
• OneDrive and SharePoint connect Office users in the cloud - for flexible, secure sharing and real-time collaboration on documents.
• Data Loss Protection (DLP) provides the ability to centrally create policies for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents to control the use and sharing of sensitive data.

The Office 2016 Professional Plus edition was not originally designed for individual customers and is therefore normally only available as a volume license, as used in larger companies. At Wiresoft, single users, such as the self-employed, or SMEs can also purchase the Office 2016 Professional Plus Edition as a single license.

The purchase of this Professional Plus Edition has the advantage that the versions of Office 2016 are still supported by older Microsoft operating systems starting from Windows 7; this makes it particularly interesting for those buyers who do not use a current version of Windows. In Wiresoft's online store, in addition to Office 2016 Professional Plus as a purchase version (without subscription!), you can also get the Standard edition as a single license. A detailed overview of all single programs included in Office 2016 Professional Plus can be found below.

Single programs of the Office 2016 Professional Plus Edition

Each program in the Office 2016 Professional Plus Edition covers its own business area with its specific functions - supplemented by many optimizations and new features:

Word in Office 2016 Professional Plus

The Word program in Office 2016 Professional Plus fulfills all classic tasks in written communication - at the workplace or online in the cloud. In addition to more templates, Word offers several new features:

• Open PDF in Word: PDFs can now be opened directly in Word 2016. This eliminates the need to copy images and graphics, and even formatting and fonts are adopted. The Word document can also be saved in PDF format again.
• More options with WordArt shapes : The WordArt shapes for designing text offer even more options in Word 2016: Texts can be transformed in different shapes or freely to fit graphical elements, etc.
• Real-time input: The optimized real-time input makes simultaneous work on a Word document even clearer: All employees can immediately see the changes made by other users and also correct them if necessary.
• Comment function: The optimized comment function offers the possibility to reply to individual comments directly in the same field, which significantly improves clarity.
• Pinned folder: The folder under which each Word document was saved can be pinned as an icon and accessed - even by other employees.

Excel 2016 for Office Professional Plus

Excel 2016 expands the possibilities in complex calculations and analysis of data with practical functions and new types of graphics in visualization:

• The program suggests the most suitable chart types for each calculation operation currently being performed as soon as the user highlights the corresponding data with the mouse, and shows them in the live preview.
• New calculation functions available in Excel 2016 include PROGNOSE.ETS to generate, in particular, short-term future forecasts including best & worst cases. Interactive charts such as the drill-down navigation used in Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) are available for pivot tables, and the LET function improves readability within a formula. With the new view filter , the filters of other users can be hidden.
• The following new chart types are now available in Excel when visualizing calculations: The histogram can be used to display frequency distributions of certain classes. As a special form, the Pareto chart is available here to show values both absolutely and relatively in column form. The waterfall diagram is also a column diagram, which can be used to display positive or negative changes in an initial value. The treemap displays individual ratios in a hierarchical structure, while the sunburst chart displays hierarchical data in a concentric arrangement so that relationships can also be shown. And the boxplot or box chart is used to visualize data as quartiles and medians in statistical analyses.

PowerPoint for Office 2016 Professional Plus

PowerPoint offers even more choice in the design of presentation slides in the Office 2016 version, as well as new functions when presenting:

• As soon as you insert a graphic or illustration into a slide, PowerPoint Designer suggests various design options that are applied immediately with a click.
• To create dynamic transitions between slides, the morph function can be used to animate images or graphics, but also individual words and even entire texts.
• During a presentation, the brush tool can also be used instead of the laser pointer to highlight individual terms or graphics etc. on a slide in color. The original PowerPoint document is not changed in the process, because the tool is used in presentation mode.
• Time management becomes even easier with the time tracking tool , because it always shows the available time, so that a given time frame can be better adhered to.
• The sharing feature makes it even easier to publish presentations to social media channels for other interested parties.

Outlook in Office 2016 Professional Plus

Outlook 2016 makes managing communication data and scheduling tasks and appointments even more efficient. Various filter functions not only manage e-mail traffic, but also make it easier to search for content, contacts or documents:

• The Clutter function sorts the inbox according to important and unimportant e-mails, automatically deactivating potentially dangerous content and links. Clutter analyzes the behavior of a user according to which e-mails are read first, later or not at all, and thus continuously improves the sorting criteria.
• A Virtual Search Folder lists all the results of a search that match a predefined criterion - e-mails, personal data and contacts, etc. - together.
• The address book automatically suggests matching contacts from the address book when entering the first letters of a name in a new e-mail, or those with whom the sender of the e-mail communicates frequently when clicking in the "To" field.
• When sending attachments , Outlook 2016 suggests a list of all recently used files when clicking "Attach file". Each attachment includes a drop-down menu to open, save, copy or delete.
• Instead of attachments, files can be sent via OneDrive and SharePoint can be sent as links if they are stored there, this speeds up sending and reduces the amount of data in the email box of both sender and recipient.

OneNote in Office 2016 Professional Plus

OneNote is the popular digital notebook that can conveniently be used on smartphones and tablets to capture or save and share your own ideas, as well as images, web pages, etc. from the Internet. OneNote notebooks can also be stored on OneDrive and thus shared with other users. The other advantages:

• OneNote can be synchronized on all devices. On touch-enabled devices, texts etc. can also be entered with the finger or a digital pen.
• The integrated text and speech recognition also searches images (e.g. screenshots), video and voice files for keywords.
• OneNote can be integrated into other Office programs to take notes etc. directly there.
• Content originating from Internet sources is automatically linked to the original source. Notes can also be linked together.

Publisher in Office 2016 Professional Plus

Microsoft Publisher is the versatile office program to create all kinds of print media in print output quality. The publishing software is an extra part of the Office 2016 Professional Plus edition and is not included in most other editions.

The intuitive layout tools, arranged in a user-friendly manner on the user interface, support users in designing a variety of document types as well as in image editing.

Effects such as shadows, glows, reflections, etc. are available for images, but also for texts, in order to change their appearance. A separate column in the design area is available for editing multiple images. Using drag & drop, these can be easily exchanged or inserted from the Microsoft ClipArt library, via Bing image search from the Internet or an online photo album. Other functions and features of Publisher 2016:

• When you open the program, design templates in common formats are available, as well as typical building blocks -such as headings, text frames and columns, etc.- for different types of documents: from simpler A4 flyers to multi-page brochures and catalogs. All predefined elements of a template can be customized and saved so that they are available again for further publications.
• Publisher includes scalable SVG vector graphics and 3D objects that can be enlarged or rotated 360 degrees without losing sharpness.
• The ruler function places text and graphics in a document with millimeter precision.
• The text field tool indicates when a longer text is inserted into a text frame that is too small; individual text fields can also be linked with it so that the text is automatically distributed among them when inserted.

Access in Office 2016 Professional Plus

Access 2016 is the practical Microsoft software for designing your own databases for project management, as well as for goods management and other tasks in a company in a relatively uncomplicated way. With its intuitive tools and features, Access is designed to be used both commercially by business users and privately. The database software is an extra component of the Office 2016 Professional Plus edition and is not included in almost all other Office editions.

The clear arrangement of functions, sorted by application areas, and the Access files allows users to quickly find their way around; for example, the start screen displays the most recently used databases, which are immediately available with a click, while the list of commands displayed in the ribbon can be individually configured according to one's own wishes, including quick access for frequently used functions. Numerous templates are available in Access 2016 to create database applications for typical tasks quickly and easily.

Microsoft Access 2016 also offers the option of developing database-based applications (apps) for mobile devices, which are accessible to other employees via the SharePoint connection. In addition, the following features and tools are available in the 2016 version of Access:

• Database queries in Access 2016 are enhanced by the use of wildcards - so-called jokers, such as * ? # - for unknown elements of a data set.
• When importing tables from different database sources, Access 2016 supports finding redundant data by allowing the respective tables to be joined together so that duplicates can be deleted.
• Forms in Access 2016 are a practical feature for displaying data clearly. Compared to tables, only a single record is displayed, which simplifies manual entry and maintenance. These AutoForms can be created using the form layout tools.
• The BigInt data type "Big Number" improves on the one hand the compatibility with MS SQL servers, and on the other hand it can be used to calculate large numbers: With eight bytes, BigInt has a much larger calculation range than the previous data type with only four bytes.
• The renewed support of dBASE files and of ODBC - Open Database Connectivity protocol - extends the application possibilities of Access by corresponding databases.

Skype for Business in Office 2016 Professional Plus

Skype for Business offers extensive possibilities to connect with other users internally or externally that go far beyond telephoning. The communication software is an exclusive part of the Office 2016 Professional Plus edition. Skype for Business was developed specifically for effective, fast communication both inside and outside the company:

• With the program, in addition to telephony (IP), it is also possible to conduct chats and video conferences, as well as transfer files and even presentations via it - as always, the operation is intuitive. Skype for Business can be used either locally or in the cloud, the application and the range of functions are identical.
• Communication via Skype for Business is secure thanks to dedicated authentication guidelines and encryption; the program also offers the option of centrally administering employee user accounts. However, employees or external participants without an account can also take part in Skype meetings.
• The presence status of a user is indicated by an icon on the profile picture. Here there are various options to convey to others whether one is available but busy, or absent or inactive; even if one is present but does not want to be disturbed, this can be conveyed - depending on the choice, this also changes the options for communication.
