- Mail Triage
In Outlook
The Clutter feature learns how you prioritize your mail and then helps you by putting low-priority messages in a separate folder (while still giving you a daily summary so you don’t miss anything). When on the go, you can also take advantage of this capability by using the Focused Inbox.

Get a list of all the linked data sources from your Access database application into Excel for reference.

In Project
Not only leverage multiple timelines to illustrate different phases or categories of work, but also set the start and end dates for each timeline separately, to paint a clearer overall picture of the work involved.

In Project
Negotiate an agreement, called a resource engagement, to make sure that resources with limited availability are being used appropriately and effectively throughout your organization.

Simply type what you want to do in the app using your own words, and then Tell Me will guide you through the process as well as offer additional resources.

Fact-check or explore terms in your documents with Bing-powered Smart Lookup. Simply highlight terms in your document and use this feature to bring in search results from the web right into your reading or authoring environment.
- OneDrive Integration
In Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, and Outlook
Access your Office documents from anywhere and on any device by saving them to OneDrive, pick them up anywhere you left off, and co-author with others from the comfort of your office or home, or even on the go.
- Skype Integration
Use Skype to check in and collaborate with someone using Instant Messaging (IM), voice, video, or screen sharing. Also, join online meetings while on the go using the Skype for Business mobile app. See who is online, IM meeting participants, and follow along when a presenter shares his screen – all from your tablet or phone.
- Cross-Platform, Cross-Device
In Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, and Outlook
Easily switch from one device to the next without missing a beat. View and edit your Office documents across Windows, Android, and Apple devices. Review, edit, analyze, and present with a consistent look and familiar user experience across your devices.
Office Mobile is pre-installed on the new Lumia 950 to help you do more on the go. The Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar apps are touch-friendly and easy to use. Access your docs from anywhere, then share, review and add comments, so you won’t miss a beat when you’re on the move. You can even use the Office apps on your phone like a PC with Office support for Continuum.
