Office 365

As you may be aware, Office 2010 (Word, Excel, Outlook etc.) will soon cease to be supported by Microsoft. Because of this, GMSS are now planning to deploy Office 365 desktop applications to all Stockport CCG laptops. 

All of the core applications are included in Office 365 and the full functionality that is provided now with Office 2010 will continue with Office 365 but with a more modern and refreshed interface.

Any queries or  support requests are to be sent to:  Gmss.stp@nhs.net with an email subject of: “O365 install support request”.

We would recommend you familiarise yourself with the changes if you have not used Office 365 before and there are several resources listed in the table below that you may find of use.

Official Microsoft Office 365 Support site. Useful links to short training videos, “quick start” information, tips and tricks, and other useful information – Office Cheat Sheets highly recommended! Microsoft Office Help & Training
Links to numerous YouTube videos – mainly short (e.g. Rotate or flip an object in Microsoft PowerPoint – 1 minute 20 secs). The VIEW ALL PLAYLIST link under the headline video links is useful for browsing. (279) Microsoft 365 – YouTube
This is a slightly more involved explanation of what is contained in Office 365 for those with a wish to know. Not hyper-technical but a useful brief intro. Just grin and bear it through the first couple of minutes – involves licensing. (279) All the Microsoft Office 365 apps explained – YouTube
Fire up Google and use “Office 365 Free YouTube Training” in the search bar. You will find a lot of results. Just be aware some of them are selling a subscription down the line. www.google.co.uk
