NoteThe Office 365 version of software may vary from those included with a standard license (available on all college computers). Though functionality is mostly the same, menus, toolbars, and features may be arranged differently, and some features are not yet included. All Office apps include a robust help feature you can utilize to get acquainted and learn the new layouts. Look for the light bulb icon near the top middle of the page, and search in the "Tell me what you want to do..." box to access it.  |
