New Office Preview version exposure, new big eye clip type assistant and black

At the end of this month, Microsoft will launch a technology Preview release in San Francisco, where the developer preview of the next operating system, Windows 9, is released. At the same time, the technical preview of its new Office (Office 16) is in the open beta. The Verge's sources reveal some of the new features of the office, including features like the assistant tell Me with the big eye clips of the paper clip, and the dark theme that is very different from the previous one.

The tell me Assistant is a Help and search bar placed at the top of the document (see figure below). The search strip, which was first shown on the online version of Office line, features a large eye clip that quickly discovers features or asks questions without having to open a complex office help document. Users can enter natural language questions, such as "How to insert pictures."

But despite its similar features, the assistant's image is much more stilted-just a light bulb. The former Office Assistant not only vivid, but also a lot of good-looking animation, its style has caused a lot of software to imitate, and in addition to the paper clip Big Eye clip image, there are Merlin, obediently dog, cute cat and other fun image.

In addition, the new Office also based on the requirements of the user, in the original white, light gray, dark gray theme based on a new black theme, but this topic is not the default option, Office's default theme will still retain the white theme. In fact, too dark theme if with very bright content together, seems to be very dazzling, the effect is not good.

In addition, Microsoft Office also implemented an automatic image rotation function. This feature allows office to use image metadata to correct the position of an image in an Office document, keeping the image automatically aligned with the direction in which the camera is shot.

Microsoft has also improved sync for Outlook clients, offering options for downloading the most recent 1, 3, 7, 14-day messages. The current version of Office downloads at least one months of mail, so new features can reduce storage requirements for desktop machines.
