Office 2016 Quick Start Guides from Microsoft

I am a huge fan of resources and as a Microsoft watcher I am always on the lookout for great gouge to share.

Recently the Microsoft Office team unveiled a new batch of support documents called Quick Starts and these are focused on Office 2016.

The big change with these new guides is that the majority of them are now full online resources instead of separate downloads. While some of them are still available in PDF formats but they have also decided to create some of them in their new Sway program format which allows them to be viewed online.

The new Quick Starts for Office 2016 page list guides for both the business and consumer versions so here are the consumer focused items many of you will be interested in.

Online Versions

PDF Versions

Sway Versions

For those of you using Office 2016 for Mac there are also Quick Start Guides for you all that are available in PDF and Sway formats.

Even Windows 10 Mobile users have a set of Quick Start Guides that are available in PDF documents.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
