Office 2021 Home & Student: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote for the home PC

Office Home & Student 2021 includes the desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Microsoft describes the edition as intended for students and families who use the Office applications at home or at school. This variant is intended for the Windows PC.

Word, Excel and PowerPoint in version 2021

Office 2021 has a revised interface with a modernised start screen and redesigned ribbon tabs. In Excel 2021, XLOOKUP searches a table in any direction, for example for a name in an address list, and returns the matching entry. With dynamic arrays, a single formula returns an entire list of results, for example all of a month's expenses sorted by amount. The LET function assigns names to intermediate results and makes long formulas easier to read. According to Microsoft, SUMIF, COUNTIF and AVERAGEIF calculate faster.

Word offers a dark mode that also darkens the page area, and Line Focus lets you read a text line by line. The Accessibility Checker points out in the status bar any content that is difficult to access for people with disabilities. In PowerPoint, Record Slide Show also records the presenter's video image, ink input and the laser pointer, for example for a presentation that is to be submitted as a video. The Draw tab brings pens, eraser, ruler and lasso together in one place. OneNote collects notes, sketches and lists in notebooks.
