Key Features of Microsoft Office 2019


Office
is the world’s best-known business productivity suite, developed by Microsoft, a leading software company. First launched in 1989, Office has become the most popular and globally used tool for creating, managing, and sharing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

 The Office suite is designed to meet the needs of individual users, businesses, and institutions of various sizes, offering a wide range of applications and services. Some of the main applications include:

  • Word: an advanced word processing application that allows you to create professional documents with advanced formatting features, collaborative editing, and support for images and graphics.
  • Excel: a powerful spreadsheet with advanced data analysis features, dynamic charts, visualization tools, and complex formulas for data processing.
  • PowerPoint: a presentation application that offers tools for creating engaging presentations with slides, transitions, animations, and multimedia support.
  • Outlook: an email client and personal organizer with advanced email, calendar, contacts, and task management features.
  • OneNote: a digital note-making app that allows you to organize ideas, notes, images, and information intuitively.
  • Publisher: a desktop publishing tool that facilitates the creation of professional publications such as brochures, flyers, and newsletters.
  • Access: a database management application for creating and managing desktop databases with advanced features.
  • Skype for Business: a business communications platform offering instant messaging, audio/video calls, and online conferencing.
  • InfoPath: a form creation and business information management tool.
  • Microsoft Teams: although not included in Office Professional Plus for the full version, it is often integrated to enable real-time collaboration, communication, and file sharing among team members.

Understanding Microsoft Office 2019


Unlike Office 365, which is subscription-based and receives regular updates, Office 2019 is a one-time purchase with no ongoing subscription fees. This makes it an attractive option for users who prefer to own their software outright and don’t require the constant updates provided by Office 365.

If you’re interested in this kind of software, here are some essential characteristics you must keep in mind.

  • Licensing and cost: Office Professional Plus is generally available through volume licensing for businesses. Costs may vary by license type, edition, and need. Remember that the Professional Plus version is not usable for mobile devices such as tablets, iPads, iPhones, or Android Phones nor for online web use at www.office.com, but is a license that can be installed and used even without an internet network (after activation) on PCs only.
  • System Requirements: make sure your systems meet the requirements to run Office Professional Plus 2019 efficiently.
  • Updates: Office 2019 is a “single-payer” version and does not include ongoing updates like Office 365. To get new features, you may need to upgrade to later versions in the future.
  • Integration with cloud services: if you want to take full advantage of cloud collaboration and storage features, you might consider transitioning to Microsoft 365 (the evolution of Office 365), which offers greater integration with Microsoft’s cloud services.
