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.
Check out this info page here.

PowerPoint’s Arrange All
PowerPoint has an almost hidden feature, that has been there for quite awhile, and can be very useful when there are several presentations open – Arrange All.
When working with multiple presentations in PowerPoint, there are times where you will have to switch back in forth between them. PowerPoint can make this easier and instantly layout all the presentations across the monitors like this:
Go to the VIEW tab and the WINDOW section. There are a few options:
- Arrange All
- Cascade,
- Move Split
- Switch Windows
First, we will take a look at Switch Windows.
The SWITCH WINDOWS drop down menu shows a list of all currently open presentations. Select a presentation file name to bring that one to front.
CASCADE resizes and repositions all currently open presentations onto a single montior, slightly offset so you can see their separate windows.
ARRANGE ALL is one of our favorite features. This will evening divide all currently open presentations across the screen. This is particularly helpful when working on one presentation while referencing the other(s).
Here are 3 presentations instantly positioned on 1 screen.
When working on multiple presentations simultaneously, things can get a bit hectic. This particular feature in PowerPoint makes life a little easier by making it simple to cycle to each presentation or by quickly displaying all presentations on screen.

Enjoying the 2019 Presentation Summit!
This week is San Antonio, TX at the 2019 Presentation Summit – definitely the place to be for all presentation designers! Lori wowed a full house with her talk on Collaborating with everyone on a design project. Troy had a great walk-through of PowerPoint’s Presenter View from corporate meeting use perspective – and later today is walking through how to design PowerPoint template for Ultrawide screens in his REALLY BIG session. And there is more fun to go!
