Microsoft releases a new Office Build for Insider Program members in the slow ring
In the middle of the week, one of the news that is usually constant is the arrival of new Builds. Updates that are either for the public spectrum or within the Insider Program bring improvements and new content to users and that almost always refer to Windows 10 in one of its branches.
This time the Build is only intended for those users who are within the slow ring in the Windows Insider Program and belongs to Microsoft Office , the popular Microsoft office suite.An update with a series of improvements and additions that we will see after the jump.
This is the Build that has the number 16.0.7466.2017 and as we say it has been launched within the Windows Insider Program in the slow ring. With this update we will see new functions arrive to all the applications that make up the suite as a whole:
-
A new digital writing assistant: An improved editor with a new service that offers contextual suggestions to help you improve your writing. Word's spelling and grammar tools have been improved to report which words or phrases may not be correct, and Word's visual proofing cues have been improved to distinguish between edits to spelling (red underline), grammar (double underline blue), or writing style (gold dotted line).
-
Summary cards for travel and package reservations: In Outlook, we can track travel reservations, as well as delivery of packages via cards created in Inbox and Calendar.
- Data transformations and connectivity improvements: In Excel, you can now select the tables to import related to when loading data from OData sources , add custom columns with the values coming from a calculation function, or show the dependencies between the queries using the dedicated view. (The feature requires an Office 365 subscription.)
- Easy to discover third-party content: In Visio, browse or search for new templates and example diagrams from select third-party content providers .
- Shared with me: With this update we will be able to click File > Open > Shared with me to show all the files that have been shared with you .
