1-Best new features that do not require Office 365

First up, here are the key features that don't need an Office 365 subscription.

2-Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2016: Smart Lookup

The new Smart Lookup feature lets you find facts and such through the Bing search engine. It can see the context of selected text by examining surrounding content and then try to provide relevant results. I usually jump out to a browser to do a search, but I can see how this adjustment might make work a little easier.

3-Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2016: Tell Me

Sometimes you don't want help, you only want answers. You want the exact tool you need, not instructions on where to find it. The new Tell Me feature lets you type a few words and get the exact one-click link to the relevant tool. Don't teach me how to fish; hand me the fishing pole, please.

4-Excel 2016: New charts

It's always good to have a few new visual features in Excel, especially for charts. Excel 2013 brought some new PivotChart features, Slicers, and Flash Fill. Excel 2016 goes further, adding six new chart types: Waterfall, Pareto, Treemap, Histogram, Box & Whisker, and Sunburst. I've spent a lot of effort making waterfall financial charts in my day, and that option is a real time-saver.

5-Best new features that do require Office 365

Here are the most useful new features that need Office 365 or additional Microsoft servers such as SharePoint.

6-Word 2016: Real-time co-authoring

If you have documents shared through OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online, you can now group-edit them in real time, such as seeing Word changes reflected in real time to all users who've opened the document. And Word 2016 makes it easier to share those documents to others in the first place.

7-Outlook 2016: Cloud attachments

When attaching files saved in OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint, you can now send documents as attachments (the traditional method) or as links to saved files. If you send links, you avoid the sprawl of document copies, and you create a one-stop location for edits to a document. If the documents are stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, you can assign various permission levels to them.

8-Sway: Digital storytelling

A new app in the Office portfolio (it debuted on iOS earlier this year), Sway makes it easy to create and share presentations that in design more resemble an e-book or e-magazine layout than a traditional slide. It's a great way for teachers to quickly create interesting content for students.

9-Office 365 Planner: Teamwork organization tool

This new tool (which will enter public beta in early 2016) for teamwork organization will let you create plans, assign tasks, set due dates, and update status. Microsoft says Office 365 Planner is much simpler to use than typical project management software, and it's accordingly designed for basic planning needs.

10-Skype for Business: Conversations

One of the new features added to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is the ability to use Skype for Business (still called Lync on the Mac and iOS) to collaborate and communicate while working on documents. You can IM or video-call someone with Skype from the new Share pane built into the new Office applications.
