We’re happy to share with you the top 10 new and improved features of Office 2016! These feature will make a big impact on what you can do with your documents.
- Real time co-editing in Word: Microsoft has finally taken a page out of what Google Doc users have been doing for years. This feature allows real time co-editing of documents in Word 2016.

For example: how do I project my screen to a second monitor, insert a watermark into a Word document or creating graphs within an Excel spreadsheet.
