geeteam Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Microsoft is currently in the process of developing and testing its next version of Office, currently codenamed Office 16. This new version of Office is rumored to be the first iteration of the suite to include dedicated touch-first Modern UI apps. Microsoft has issued a private group of users an early build of Office 16, and we've managed to get our hands on with this pre-release build.First and foremost, as this is an early pre-release build of Office 16, everything seen in the video and in screenshots does not represent the final product and is subject to change before public launch. Also, considering how early of a build this pre-release is, many core features such as dedicated Modern UI apps are not currently available. This pre-release focuses entirely on the desktop side of things.Still, there are a number of new changes in this build. For those keeping count, this pre-release build of Office 16 reads 16.0.3030.1016. Included in this build is as follows:Tell MeInsert images with the correct orientationEnable pan and zoom while loading large Charts/SmartArtBI in Excel - upgrade, backend DLL, search in field listTimeline View - Multiple Timeline Bars and Custom Date RangesAttaching/Sharing Most Recently Used (MRU) local and cloud files on OneDrive (Consumer and Business) and SharePointAccessibility (Keyboard access for Shape Panel) in VisioContent Refresh in VisioInformation Rights Management (IRM) protection now added for Visio filesBlack ThemeLean Outlook storage footprint on small devicesVisio Getting Started FeatureHere is a video walkthrough if Office 16 pre-released PS: Please note that these features are in their early stages and they are subjected to change.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
