Truth Or Dare Or Maybe It Is Just A “Tell Me” Search Box….
New and Exciting Changes to Microsoft Office
Part 1: How to Navigate with “Tell Me”
Change is difficult for everyone. When applications are updated, we can become extremely frustrated when attempting to create a document and struggle to execute a familiar task. We find ourselves cursing the new applications but in reality, the changes were typically necessary and luckily, with most application changes, comes improvements. In this multi-blog series, I will break down some new features of Microsoft Office 2016 and how to use them.
In this initial blog, we will be covering “Tell Me,” which is a search box located in the top right-hand side of the Excel tool bar. Using “Tell Me,” can make any task, challenging or not, easier. Type a keyword or phrase into the Tell me what you want to do search box on the ribbon to quickly find the Excel features and commands you’re looking for, to discover Help content, or to get more information online.
Here’s what you do:
Example #1 -- Using Tell Me to make tasks easier:
•At the top of the Home ribbon, click the Tell me what you want to do dialog box, and simply start typing what you’re looking for, then select the result that applies to your task.
•Every keystroke refines the results, so that you can just choose a command (or more options) that you’re looking.
Example #2 -- Using Tell Me to Create a Chart:
•For example, type “chart” in the box and Tell Me will present several commands and options for creating or inserting charts. Now, simply choose your command or option.
Example #3 -- Using Tell Me to find Printing options:
•Simply type “print” in the Tell Me box, and choose one of the options.
