Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business – PC/Mac

Office 2024 Home & Business: Office with Outlook for Windows PC or Mac

Office Home & Business 2024 includes the desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Microsoft aims the edition at families and small businesses and explicitly permits commercial use as well. This makes Home & Business suitable for self-employed people, freelancers and small businesses that create quotations, invoice templates, calculations and presentations and manage their emails, appointments and contacts in Outlook. The applications are available for Windows and macOS.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint in version 2024

In Excel 2024, charts can reference dynamic arrays. If the length of a list of results changes, for example in a sales analysis filtered by customer, the chart adjusts automatically. 14 new text and array functions make it easier to prepare lists, and the IMAGE function inserts images from the web directly into cells, for example product photos in a price list. Microsoft has also improved the speed and stability of workbooks.

After an unexpected shutdown, Word reopens the documents that were previously open. Word, Excel and PowerPoint support OpenDocument Format 1.4. In PowerPoint, Cameo shows the live camera image directly on a slide, and in the Recording Studio a presentation can be recorded as a video with narration, ink input and transitions, for example as a product presentation for customers.

Outlook for email, calendar and contacts

Outlook 2024 brings email, calendar and contacts together in one application. On Windows, search delivers more accurate results for messages, attachments, contacts and appointments, and more options are available when creating meetings. On the Mac, emails can be scheduled to be sent later, for example a quotation written in the evening can go out the next morning, and the Focused Inbox separates important messages from the rest. OneNote complements the package with digital notebooks for meeting notes and ideas.

Office 2024 contains fixed program versions and no services from a Microsoft 365 subscription. Cloud storage and cloud-based features of Microsoft 365 are therefore not part of the feature set.
