Compare Microsoft Office Features List

Pulling this from a recent conversation. Microsoft has an up-to-date feature comparison list of what works, or is available in several versions of Microsoft Office. It is a page worth bookmarking.

First question is, what versions of Office are compared? Well, “versions” is not the best word, it is more about platforms – and this list compares most of them. All is based on the most recent version of Office 365 (so legacy versions and Office 2019 are not included).

The next question is, is it an up to date list? Many thanks to Ben Schorr at Microsoft for having a date stamp added to this page after I noted that this information was great, but users had no way of knowing if it was recent or 3 year old information.

Most important, what features are listed? Lots; audio, text, collaboration, design and Layout, keyboard, object, photo, print, slide show, video and more.

The Power of Feedback – Morph and Microsoft MVPs

A recent article from Microsoft talks about PowerPoint’s Morph and how internally it continues to improve. In addition, I am often asked what it means to be awarded as an MVP from Microsoft – this article gives a nice callout to how Microsoft interacts with the PowerPoint MVP group for real-world use testing and input on features/bugs/problems/needs. I am happy to report I was part of this discussion – and yes, I had many recommendations on updates that would make Morph even better for our real-life uses 🙂

What to Wear, as a Presenter

I do not repost other stories very often, but this is a good article for anyone that is presenting on stage, or in front of the camera. It is written about being in a video, and all of the tips apply to a presenter on a large stage (where you are also generally on camera too!):

SMK-Link Navigator – How To Train an Additional Receiver

TLC Creative Services really likes the SMK-Navigator presentation remote. We have used them for several years, but it is not for the presenter, it is the remote we use backstage to run the computers while the presenter has a cue light remote that signals when to advance the content.

One of the key features of the SMK-Navigator remote is the receiver, the unit connected to the computer, can be sync’d to a remote. More importantly a single remote can be connected to 2-4-12 computers!

The key to the great feature is knowing how to program, or train, the additional remotes to the receiver.

1. Remove USB Receiver from USB port, wait 5 seconds and reconnect.

2. Press and hold the Next button (right arrow) for 10 seconds until red light rapidly flashes.

3. Click the advance button on the remote and the LED light on the receiver should turn solid green (and then back to a slow flashing green).

Done! Now that receiver will work with that remote. Repeat for as many computers as you want the remote to simultaneously control.
