Microsoft Outlook - New Desktop look
Microsoft Outlook on the web and Outlook desktop have similar features. Still, they have a different look, and Outlook on the web has several remarkable features that the desktop version doesn't. Microsoft is working on having one codebase. Outlook desktop, at some point, will have a new look, and these features will be incorporated.

Overview of new features in Excel coming soon - Two new image features
Excel has a new IMAGE function coming out. I'm already using this frequently. Another great image feature is Data from Image. It is the ability to use a screenshot or add an image to Excel, and Excel will analyze the data and convert the image to text and numbers.

Overview of new features in Teams out now or coming soon
Teams has a new Send Chat Later feature coming out in December 2022. Another great feature already out is the ability to record a one-minute video clip in a chat. It can be a one-on-one chat or a group chat. Record a video clip is a great way to say hello to a new team member or do a short follow-up after a meeting.

Excel - Advanced Filters
Excel filters are great for seeing just a subset of your data. You can use filters for text, numbers, and dates, but also by color. You can use font color or fill color (the paint can). You can also use Advanced Filters. You Advanced Filters when you are looking at multiple fields but for different criteria. For example, I want to filter and only see people in Georgia and New York. That is easy to do and can be done with the drop-down filter. But, for Georgia, I want to see people who are Single, and for New York, I want to see Family. That requires an Advanced Filter.

Microsoft Word to Adobe Acrobat with Bookmarks
