Microsoft Office App Unveiled for Windows 10, Brings Features of Office.com


HIGHLIGHTS
  • Office app replicates the Office.com experience
  • Organisations can customise the app with logos and links
  • App is free to download

Microsoft has launched a Windows 10 app for their Office suite users, who frequently use the Web versions of the apps. The app provides an experience similar to what users get when they log onto Office.com - where links to all the web versions of all Office apps are conveniently linked along with quick access to the cloud stored documents and other files. The app is free and works across Office 365 subscriptions, Office 2019, Office 2016 and also for users of Microsoft's free Office Online service.
The interface of the new Office app gives a near identical experience to what you will get from Office.com, only packaged to integrate seamlessly with Windows. Besides the option to launch the Web versions of Office apps, Office 365 subscribers will also have the option to install the Office suite right from the app itself. Documents and files stored locally as well as in OneDrive and SharePoint can be easily accessed through a convenient listing on the app, allowing access to all your files seamlessly.
Microsoft has also built in a search function that helps locate apps, documents, people, and sites according to the query. Organisations have the option to customise the app using their company's branding and add their own business apps to the interface as well.
A blog post on Microsoft.com points out that the previously available MyOffice app will soon be updated to the new Office app, which will soon be rolling out on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 users. By summer next year, Windows 10 devices will come with the Office app pre-installed.
According to Microsoft, over 40 percent of Office 365 web users start their work by visiting Office.com.

Italy’s stocks and bonds came under  intense pressure   on Friday, with the plunge in the country’s banks wiping $10 billion off their market value. Those who remember the chaos of the euro region’s sovereign debt crisis will be asking, whether this is the start of something much worse. Here’s what financial markets are telling us. Bond Risks The selloff in the nation’s 10-year bonds drove yields up the most since May -- a time when the Five Star Movement and the League parties were forming their coalition, and holding talks with euroskeptics who had  floated the idea  of leaving the euro area. The good news is that the hard-line rhetoric has faded somewhat, meaning the concern in markets is about the size of Italy’s debt load, rather than the risk that it leaves the currency bloc. This is reflected in Italy’s 10-year yield spread over German bunds. That gauge is hovering at around 270 basis points, still short of the year’s highs of around 323 basis points. A...
