Users who use the full range of Microsoft Office at home or in the office are excellently advised with the Professional Plus edition. Included are all important programs: Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher,  Access  and Teams. At the same time, OneNote is available for download from the Windows Store to quickly take notes and make them available via the cloud on all devices. Due to the wide range of different programs, the Professional Plus variant is aimed primarily at people who work at home in the home office or are looking for a powerful, reliable solution in a small office to organize documents, tables & Co.

Word 2021 is the most powerful tool for creating documents. From everyday "paperwork" to official company documents, Word's functionality spans the full range of copywriting. Also new in this edition is an improved recognition of virtual ink, so that writing with a pen directly on the display is now better translated into printed typewriting. In addition, voice input has been improved. Microsoft has also made numerous detail improvements: SVG graphics, for example, allow the integration of even complex image documents without resulting in a high memory requirement. Scaling and other measures for image processing are also more successful as a result.

In companies, on the other hand, Access 2021 provides a powerful solution for creating and managing databases of all kinds. The new version supports the generation of database applications that work directly in the browser and are therefore particularly lean. Stored data then ends up in SQL databases, for example, where secure access exists. Publisher 2021, on the other hand, improves the possibilities for publishing graphics of any kind: for presentations, for advertising, for flyers, magazines & Co. In detail, Microsoft has significantly improved both programs in Office 2021  Professional Plus, for example to expand pen recognition in Publisher and to speed up collaboration on databases in Access with colleagues.

When working with tables, Excel 2021 still has the best features to offer: Excel offers tables of all kinds from finances to product databases to entries for tax returns & Co. in this version in an even better way. Among other things, new representations of visual information have been added, and more mathematical functions are integrated by default. What has remained is the excellent compatibility with CSV files. Similarly, PowerPoint 2021 now offers the option to integrate Ultra HD footage directly into presentations, as well as freely scale graphics and zoom in and out of images. The renunciation of external image processing is thus better possible.

Outlook 2021 continues to grant access to all stored contacts as well as email addresses. Especially in offices in connection with an Exchange server, this creates a good opportunity to always keep information about customers and partners up to date. In addition, the application supports the creation of any number of e-mail accounts, which accommodates users with a large number of accounts. Across all programs, Office 2021 Professional Plus offers the proven interface that has now been integrated into every application for more than a decade. The workflow extends across every application and is very similar everywhere - whether in Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint.
