You will, however, find Clutter, the tool for weeding out irrelevant interoffice email (it’s also part of Office 2013). But while Bing Insights may be live in Word Online, it’s not yet in Word 2016, though it’s promised.
Case in point: Bing Insights, where you can right-click a word and tap Bing’s knowledge base to quickly append links and artwork to enhance an Office document. Short of becoming dependent upon Tell me, perhaps a secondary “take me there” button makes sense too, at least as an option.Įxperiments that Microsoft conducted elsewhere may eventually bear fruit in Office 2016.

One drawback, however, is the “Tell me” bar doesn’t actually reveal in what menu your search result is hiding, so you don’t learn how to find it yourself next time. In Word, however, searches for “insert bold text,” “insert footnote,” and “find Web art” all brought up what I was looking for. In Outlook 2015, I tried searching for “out of office,” instead of the more Office-like “automatic replies.” Neither query worked, whether as a search for the terms themselves or a more naturally-phrased query. At this point, it doesn’t work all that well. The “Tell me” search bar allows you to simply ask the app what you want to do. The best part is that it doesn’t tell you how to perform a specific function it simply offers you a simple step to actually do it. The “Tell me” bar, as Microsoft calls it, invites you to ask in the search field how to perform actions (such as adding footnotes), rather than hunt the feature down through a maze of menus. One of the more useful features of Office 2016 is the specialized search bar at the top of many of the Office apps. I did notice a slightly narrower, less legible menu font during my testing on a Surface 3, compared to what Brad saw on his desktop, which could be a scaling issue with our different displays. Otherwise, most Office 2016 apps are virtually identical to Office 2013, for now. In Word 2016, this seems to be the extent of “real-time editing,” for now. An alert box also let me know that I wouldn’t be seeing real-time updates, just static changes. Once Brad saved, I could see his edits, but only if I weren’t trying to edit the same text field at the time. Brad was able to sign in with his PCWorld/IDG credentials and open the document in-app, but the “real-time” collaboration was more like playing checkers than Pong. What we expected to happen, of course, was for Word to allow us to edit the document collaboratively in Word 2016, or else for Office to open Office Online and do it there. If the file isn’t there, it will be attached. In Outlook 2016, most file “attachments” are links to the file stored in OneDrive.
