Note that Microsoft hasn't included OneNote in the Office 2019 package, though you can choose to install the 2016 version if you want to. New in this version are some improved chart types, support for a handful of new data types, and accessibility upgrades as well, but nothing major. Still, it's guaranteed to do a fine job of managing your emails across multiple accounts, and now features a new Focused inbox for your most important messages only.Īccess – Microsoft's venerable database application is still available to you when you pick up an Office 2019 purchase, should you have a need for it, and the app remains as solid and dependable as ever. Outlook – The one email, calendar, contacts and tasks application to rule them all, Outlook continues to impress, though like Excel it hasn't been blessed with many upgrades in recent years.

It might not be as lean as some of its newer rivals (like Google Slides) but it's hard to beat in terms of overall capabilities. PowerPoint – The all-powerful presentation tool gets some new tricks in Office 2019, including support for advancing slides with Bluetooth pens, a new zoom interface for jumping between slides, and a cool morph transition.

New features have been thin on the ground in recent years, but that's only because it already has everything you're going to need – from crunching the numbers on the annual budget to organizing the tea rota. Excel – Packed with functions, no other spreadsheet program really comes close to Excel in terms of advanced capabilities.
