Free Productivity Apps in the Cloud

By: James Bernstein

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

With the growing trend of everything being online and people working from home as well as taking their school classes online, there is a growing need to be able to work in "the cloud" and be able to access your files from any location as well as share them with others so they can work on them as well.

Microsoft Office has been around since 1990 with various versions and improvements throughout the years and lately Microsoft has really been pushing their user base to use their online subscription based versions rather than the desktop versions we are all used to.

You might have heard of Office 365 or Microsoft 365 which are the subscription based (pay for) versions but there is also another option that you can use for free called Office for the Web (previously named Office Online), and this version just might have enough features to allow you to get your work done without costing you any money.

The goal of this book is to get you up and running with Office for the Web and cover all the things you need to know to get you working with these online productivity applications. It sticks with the basics yet covers all aspects of the application to help you accomplish your goals without needing to be a computer genius. The content of this book will also apply to Office 365 users.

The chapters in the book cover the following topics:

Chapter 1 - Getting Started
Chapter 2 - OneDrive
Chapter 3 - Word
Chapter 4 - Excel
Chapter 5 - PowerPoint
Chapter 6 - Outlook, Calendar and People
Chapter 7 - OneNote
Chapter 8 - Additional Apps
Chapter 9 - Sharing, Downloading and Printing Your Files
Chapter 10 - Extras
