Microsoft Office 2021 Professional Plus – Retail

Office 2021 Professional Plus: Office applications with Access and Publisher for Windows

Office 2021 Professional Plus comprises Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote as well as the Access database application and the Publisher layout program. Microsoft lists this edition under the name Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021. This offer is the retail variant. Office 2021 Professional Plus is mainly an option for workplaces where this version is already in use and is to remain consistent, for example because of Access databases, templates or macros that are tailored to Office 2021.

Excel, Word and PowerPoint in version 2021

In Excel 2021, XLOOKUP replaces many constructions based on VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP: the function searches a table in any direction, for example for an item number, and returns the matching price. With dynamic arrays, a single formula returns an entire list of results. These include the functions FILTER, SORT, SORTBY, UNIQUE, SEQUENCE and RANDARRAY, which can be used, for example, to list all of a customer's open items automatically in sorted order. The LET function assigns names to intermediate results and makes long formulas easier to read, and XMATCH determines the position of an entry in a range.

Word offers a dark mode that also darkens the page area, and Line Focus lets you read a document line by line. In PowerPoint, Record Slide Show additionally records the presenter's video image, ink input and the laser pointer, for example for a training session to be viewed later. Ink drawings can be replayed as an animation. Word, Excel and PowerPoint support OpenDocument Format 1.3.

Outlook, Access and Publisher

Outlook combines email, calendar and contacts in one application. The built-in Translator translates emails into more than 70 languages, and Instant Search above the ribbon helps you find specific messages again.

In Access, customer, order or inventory data is managed in tables and evaluated using forms, queries and reports. The revised Linked Table Manager shows all linked data sources in one place and allows you to refresh, relink or delete them. The Date/Time Extended data type stores time information more precisely. With Publisher, you can design flyers, brochures and newsletters. Office LTSC 2021 no longer includes the Microsoft Teams client.
