Microsoft Office 365

Microsoft Office 365 brings the power of the Microsoft Office suite to a web browser. It allows for increased collaboration and ease of access. Also, it allows you to install the apps to any of your devices. 

You can create:

  • documents
  • spreadsheets
  • presentations
  • notebooks, and more.


These will save to your OneDrive, your online storage app. You can share them via a link and work on them with other people.

It’s possible to make changes to your documents in your web browser, or in the Microsoft apps on your device.
