In today’s world, everyone wants to work faster and more efficiently. Are you wondering how to do that?
Take a look at Office 2024 and its 5 new features that will make your work simpler, more organized and much less time-consuming.
Collaborate Faster and Easier
One of the most interesting features offered by Office 2024 are the Loop components. These include table, paragraph, to-do list and more. With this feature, you can share data in a Word document with other users and update them together whenever you want.
The most standout loop component is the to-do list. It allows you to create tables of tasks and assign them to the appropriate people. Everyone who has access to it knows what they need to do and when, and can react to the information. By using this feature, you are always up to date and know what you have to do, which makes you complete tasks faster and more productively.
Stay in Sync with Your Team
Another feature that will help you collaborate in a group is the Catch up tool. Clicking on this option will display a comment section in the right hand corner of the page, relating to each element of the document. You will then be able to quickly answer any questions, give feedback or correct any mistakes.
This feature, like the one above, also speeds up the process as you do not have to scroll through the entire document, but only have to click on a comment to go to the link. Using this option will not only make sure you don’t miss anything, but will also allow you to communicate with people more quickly than, for example, by email or phone.
Make Your Content Clear and Readable
Have you ever had the feeling that the information in a PowerPoint presentation might not be clearly visible? You no longer have to worry about this with the new Office 2024 feature called Accessibility helper. From now on, any mistakes will be detected by the machine itself.
It will suggest what you need to do to make your work look better. The new feature not only suggests the correct font size, but also improves color schemes or Excel tables that are too complex. These upgrades not only make your work look more professional, but also make your content more user friendly for people with visual impairments, making it easier for them to access information.
Perfect Graphics in a Snap
Aside from the issues of choosing the right font size or color scheme, Office users have so far also struggled with choosing the right size for attached images. From now on, this will no longer be a problem, because with the Auto Crop feature, you will be able to fit the image perfectly into the text or presentation.
If the photo is too large, it is cropped so that only the important elements remain. This option removes irrelevant elements, such as a blank background, without reducing the quality of the image. As a result, you spend less time on manual editing and enjoy a professional-looking graphic.
Preview Pages Quickly and Safely
The final feature every Office 2024 user should know about is Preview links. This option allows you to preview a web page without having to enter it. Just move your mouse over the link and you will see the information and a picture of the main page. This is very useful, especially for files with many links, as you can quickly check them without having to open each one. It also has a huge impact on your security, as clicking on the links could lead to dangerous viruses being downloaded onto your computer.
Which of the features do you find most helpful? Don’t hesitate to use the new functions of Office 2024.
