What's new

[table][tr]App Description [/tr] [tr][td]Word[/td] [td]Keep accessibility checker running while I work in Word, Excel or PowerPoint for Desktop From telemetry and extensive customer research, we know users struggle most with identifying when to check their documents for accessibility issues that make it harder for people with disabilities to consume content and collaborate with others. We’ve introduced the ability to run the accessibility checker in the background, allowing us to remind users at the right time when they should investigate further, instead of relying on their ability to pre-conceive the need. It’ll sit quietly from the status bar without eating up valuable real-estate on screen and give you an at-a-glance reminder with a one-click action to making your content more accessible to people with disabilities and more usable for all. Getting Started

Launch the accessibility checker (which will automatically enable this feature) from Ribbon > Review > Check Accessibility

Enable it from File > Options > Ease of Access > Keep accessibility checker running while I work

Scenarios to Try Let accessibility checker help you communicate inclusively with people you work with. The background checker will monitor your content for accessibility issues and remind you unobtrusively from the status bar, alongside spellcheck. (see attachment)[/td] [/tr] [/table]

What's new

[table][tr]App Description [/tr] [tr][td]Word[/td] [td]Collaborate more effectively with @Mentions in Word Comments Collaboration just became a whole lot easier! Now you can @mention teammates in document comments and they will automatically receive an email notification drawing them into the document. @mentions generate email notifications automatically. The emails sent link directly back to the specific document and comment within that document, helping users get answers to their questions faster and with better context. Getting Started:

Type ‘@’ in a comment and type the name, or select your mention recipient from the people picker. A notification will be sent once the doc saves. The email notification will have a link to the specific comment in the document (it will open in Word Online).

If the mentionee doesn’t have permissions for the document, you’ll be prompted to give them permission.

Known Issues:

Email notification links currently only work properly when clicked on Web or Desktop. Mobile support coming soon.

If the mention recipient has automatic replies turned on for email, you will receive that message.

[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]PowerPoint[/td] [td]Collaborate more effectively with @mentions in PowerPoint You can now @mention your teammates in PowerPoint comments, and they will automatically receive an email notification with a link to the slide you want them to see. This feature automatically notifies your colleagues if you have mentioned them in a comment, and gives the recipients a link to the slide where you mentioned them. Now you no longer have to reach out to your collaborators yourself to ask them to look at a specific slide - PowerPoint does the work for you Getting Started:

Type ‘@’ in a comment and select your mention recipient from the people picker. A notification will be sent once the doc saves. The email notification will have a link to the specific comment in the document.

If the mentionee doesn’t have permissions for the document, you’ll be prompted to give them permission.

Known Issues:

Email notification links currently only work properly when clicked on Web or Desktop. Mobile support coming soon.

If the mention recipient has automatic replies turned on for email, you will receive that message.

After a user has been @mentioned in Desktop Mac and Win32, there is no mechanism to reinvoke the people card.

[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Visio[/td] [td]Relink the source Excel workbook for Data Visualizer diagrams Relink source data enables users to modify the link of the source Excel workbook for the Data Visualizer diagrams. Once the source Excel workbook for a Data Visualizer diagram is renamed or moved to a different location the link between the diagram and data breaks. Relink source data solves this problem for the users by enabling them to link the diagram to the Excel workbook again. Thus ensuring that they can use the two-way sync between diagram and data! Getting Started:

Open an existing diagram created using the Data Visualizer templates in Visio (File>New>Templates>Flowchart).

Select the diagram container or any shape inside the diagram to see the Data Tools Design contextual tab in the ribbon.

Select Relink Source Data under the Source Data section of this ribbon tab to open the Relink Source Data dialog.

Browse to the Excel file location and select the Table/ Range and select Relink.

[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Word, Excel & PowerPoint[/td] [td]Search Recent Files in HomePage Search your list of recent files in the Office Homepage. Easily find files that you've opened days or months ago without having to look for it in your recent file list. Getting Started: Search across the files you've opened in File -> Home in the Office backstage Scenarios to Try: Search across the files you've opened in the File -> Open and File -> Home in the backstage.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

It's here! Office Insider Fast for Office 2016 on Windows

Hi Insiders –

As you may have heard, the Office Insider program for Windows Desktop is now available in two levels—Office Insider Slow and Office Insider Fast.

So what does this mean to you?

If you’re already an Office Insider, you’re now automatically enrolled in the Slow level. You’ll continue to receive early builds of Office 2016 once or twice a month, just as you have in the past.

If you want even earlier access to new features, more frequently, you can opt into the new Fast level and receive weekly builds of Office 2016. The Fast level is a good fit for those who like to be first in line to try features and provide feedback, and who are comfortable using unsupported builds.

Note: Office Insider is designed for consumer customers who receive Office 2016 updates as part of an Office 365 Home, Personal, or University subscription. If you’re a commercial subscriber, it is possible to receive Fast builds, but you must follow these steps instead of the ones described below.

Already an Office Insider? Here’s how you can change from the Slow to Fast level:

Ensure that 16.0.7341.2021 is installed, which we released to Office Insiders last week.

In any Office 2016 app, click File > Account > Office Insider > Change Level.

Select Insider Fast as your level, agree to the terms of use, and then click OK.

Click Update Options > Update Now to install the Office Insider Fast build.

At this point, you should be on version 16.0.7329.1000. To check, click File > Account and look for the version information under the Office Updates heading. Don't worry if you see Version 1610 (Build 7329.1000) instead of 16.0.7329.1000. It's the same build. As an Office Insider on the Fast level, you're just getting a sneak peek at our new naming convention. *Smile

Not yet an Office Insider and want to opt into the Fast level?

You’ll need to join the Office Insider program first, so you can install the latest Office Insider Slow build, 16.0.7341.2021, which contains the new user interface options for opting into the Fast level. (These options are not yet available to our non-Insider audience, and this is currently the only way you can sign up to receive Fast builds.)

Join the Office Insider program for Windows Desktop.

On your My Account page, in the Version list, choose either Office Insider - 32-bit or Office Insider - 64-bit, and then click Install.

At this point, you should be on the Slow build, 16.0.7341.2021. To check, click File > Account and look for the version information under the Office Updates heading.

To opt into the Office Insider Fast level and install the latest Fast build, follow steps 2 through 4 in the procedure above.

After you have the Fast build installed, check out the Shared with Me feature, which makes it easy to find documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that others have shared with you from OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online.

What's the best way to report issues or leave feedback?

Feel free to use any of the following options.

In any Office 2016 app, click File > Feedback. If you run into an issue, let us know by clicking I Don't Like Something. To suggest new features or improvements to existing features, click I Have a Suggestion and leave feedback on the app’s UserVoice site, which is like a community suggestion box.

Note: If you don’t see the I Have a Suggestion button shown above, it’s coming soon. In the meantime, you can go directly to these UserVoice sites: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, and Visio.

Report issues or ask questions in the Office Insider community. Our product teams regularly promote Fast features in this forum, As Patrick from the Office Collaboration team has done here, and they'll help answer questions and troubleshoot any issues you find in Fast builds.

Tweet us at Office Insider (@OfficeInsider).

Since the launch of Office Insider last November, more than one million Insiders have used pre-release builds of Office across platforms and provided more than 100,000 pieces of feedback. You are instrumental in helping us improve the Office 2016 experience for millions of people around the world.

Thanks!
