Microsoft Office 2024 Standard

Office 2024 Standard: the core Office applications for the office PC

Office 2024 Standard includes the desktop applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for Windows. The programs are installed locally and cover correspondence, calculations, presentations, email with calendar and notes. Microsoft lists this edition under the name Office LTSC Standard 2024. The edition is aimed at offices, medical practices, law firms and self-employed people who prefer a fixed feature set over several years and do not need a database application.

New features in Excel, Word and PowerPoint

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

After an unexpected shutdown, Word restores the documents that were previously open. Word, Excel and PowerPoint support OpenDocument Format 1.4 and save ODF files in this version by default. The tools for accessible documents have been extended, and images can be inserted directly from an Android smartphone. In PowerPoint, Cameo shows the live camera image on a slide, and in the Recording Studio a presentation is recorded as a video including narration and ink input, for example for a training session that employees watch later. Videos and audio files can be given captions.

Outlook and OneNote

Search in Outlook 2024 delivers more accurate results for emails, attachments, contacts and calendar entries, and more options are available when scheduling meetings. OneNote collects notes, minutes and sketches in notebooks. Microsoft Publisher is no longer included in Office 2024, and Microsoft Teams is not preinstalled and is available separately. Cloud-based features from Microsoft 365, such as real-time collaboration or AI-powered automation, are not part of the feature set.

Difference from Office 2024 Professional Plus

Office 2024 Standard does not include a database application. If you want to manage customer, order or inventory data with Microsoft Access, choose Office 2024 Professional Plus, which additionally includes Access.
