Excel handles larger data sets more efficiently, which matters if you work with complex budgets or multi-tab spreadsheets that used to slow things down. Word’s writing assistance catches more than just spelling — it flags clarity issues and suggests rewrites in context. PowerPoint now lets you record narrated presentations with video directly from the app, useful for anyone sending slide decks to people who were not in the room. Outlook’s threading and calendar tools have been refined to reduce the back-and-forth of scheduling. Before You Buy This license works on both Mac and PC.
