   Understand how Office 365 interfaces work. Every Office 365 program has a main window in which you’ll complete the program’s main function. Additionally, each program has a colored toolbar (also referred to as a «ribbon») at the top of the window.

   • You’ll find different tab options (e.g., Insert) in the ribbon.
   • Clicking a ribbon tab will cause the toolbar options to change.

   Remember to use templates. Upon opening an Office 365 program, you’ll see a launch page with several different options. While one option is to create a Blank file, the other options on the launch page are popular Microsoft templates which can help shape your file to fit specific needs.

   • You can search for additional templates in the search bar at the top of the launch page.

   Try using Microsoft OneDrive. OneDrive is the cloud storage service which is connected to your Microsoft account. You get 5 gigabytes of free storage just for signing up, but Office 365 Home and Office 365 Personal users will receive 1 terabyte (1024 gigabytes) of storage.

   • You can store your Office 365 documents in OneDrive in order to access them anywhere.
   • Documents stored in OneDrive can be shared with other users in order to collaborate on documents.

   Use Word for creating documents. Microsoft Word is a classic program used to create text documents which can include formatting, images, and various publication options.

   • Word saves files in a format recognizable by both Apple Pages and Google Docs.

   Use Excel to manage data. Excel is a spreadsheet program which can be used to store and format data, create charts, and run calculations based on available values.

   • Storing data such as attendance, employee invoicing, and store inventory is common in Excel.

6.

   Use PowerPoint for slideshow presentations. PowerPoint allows users to create presentations on a slide-by-slide basis.

   • PowerPoint presentations can also be used to create jeopardy games, flash cards, and more.

   Use OneNote as an advanced notebook. While both Windows and Mac computers have plain text editors (Notepad and TextEdit, respectively), OneNote is capable of storing text, images, and formatting.

   • OneNote also includes the option to create multiple different notebooks, making it easy to organize by category.

   Use Access to build databases. Access is a Windows-only database program which can be used to create databases for anything from store inventory to personal finances. Once you’ve created a database, you can use Access’ tools to display your data in different formats.^[2]
   

   • Access isn’t available for the Student edition of Office 365.

   Use Outlook for your email client. Like many comparable desktop email services (e.g., Thunderbird), Outlook allows you to sign into your email address(es) in order to manage and store your email from your desktop.

   • Outlook is not available in the Student edition of Office 365.
   • Using Outlook is unnecessary, but useful if you want to keep a backup of your emails on your computer without downloading the emails manually from their respective services.
   • Outlook replaced Hotmail as the default provider for your Microsoft account’s email. It has an online version which can be accessed by going to https://www.outlook.com/ and signing in with your Microsoft account.

    Use Publisher to touch up your Word documents. Like Access, Publisher is for Windows computers only. You’ll use Publisher to put the finishing touches on documents by adjusting page layout, design elements, and images.

    • While Publisher can be used for things like preparing documents for online publication, Word is still your best bet for creating text documents.
    • Publisher isn’t available in the Student edition of Office 365.

• Office 365 programs are dated by the year they were released (e.g., Word 2016 came out in 2016), but Microsoft releases periodic updates for these programs between releases.

• As long as you’re paying the annual Office 365 subscription fee, you’ll receive the newest version of all Office 365 products when they’re released without having to pay extra.

• If you have the Student edition of Office 365, you won’t be able to upgrade to the newest version of Office 365 when it’s released without paying again.
