Hi,
I have a question regarding web based microsoft office. I was not able to find anything about it anywhere; can anyone help me in explaining this?
Thank you.
Microsoft Office Online (or Office Web Apps) is an online suite of office by Microsoft, which permits users to create as well as edit documents using a lightweight, browser-based version of MS Office apps: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and One Note. The offering even includes Outlook.com, Calendar, and OneDrive, all of which are accessible from a unified app changer. Users can also install the on-premises version of this online service, which is Office Web Apps Server, in private clouds with SharePoint and Microsoft Exchange Server.
Microsoft Office Online or Office Online is the online version of the standalone Microsoft Office suite which users install on their computer. If you need to use an Office application like Office Word or Office Excel but you don’t want to install Microsoft Office, Office Online is the solution. You only need an internet connection to use Office Online applications.
To use Office Online, you need a valid Microsoft account. If you don’t have a Microsoft account yet, go to Microsoft Account Sign In and click “Create one” to sign up for a new account. After creating your account or if you already have a Microsoft account, go to Microsoft Office Online and click the Office application you want to use.
Only selected Office applications are available in the online version of Microsoft Office. Office Online includes the following applications: Office Word, Office Excel, Office PowerPoint, Office OneNote, Sway, Mail, People, Calendar, OneDrive, and Docs.com.
