Microsoft's next version of Office includes a Clippy-like helper and a very dark theme

Microsoft is busy preparing a "Windows Technical Preview" for later this month, but the software maker is also privately testing an "Office Technical Preview" for the next version of its popular Office suite. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s Office plans tell The Verge that the company has been distributing copies of a future version of Office to partners and testers recently, providing an early look at new features.

While testing is in the early stages, we understand Microsoft is adding the "Tell Me" helper found in its Office Online apps to the desktop versions. Tell Me sits at the top of documents as a type of help and search tool. It’s similar in function to Clippy, providing a quick way to discover features and ask questions without digging into the vast help documentation found in Office. There’s no animated character like Clippy, just a simple bulb icon to indicate its presence in documents. Asking questions like "how do I insert images?" will bring up relevant features and additional help. It’s mainly a tool to help Office users discover the vast amount of features that are available across all the individual apps.

Microsoft’s Office Ribbon is still present, and there are no major user interface changes just yet. Microsoft has, however, added a new black. We’re told that the black theme was the number one feature request for Office 2013, and Microsoft is seeking feedback on its implementation to tweak any areas that are too bright. It’s an unusual look for Office, but if you’re used to regularly working in documents then it appears to be easier on the eyes than the white theme. The black theme isn’t default, it’s just an option for Office users alongside the light gray, dark gray, and white themes.

Other new features include automatic image rotation, allowing Microsoft to use camera metadata to correctly position images in Office documents. Once pictures are inserted, Office will automatically rotate a picture to match the camera’s orientation, with options to manually rotate afterwards. Microsoft is also improving its Outlook email client with sync options to just download 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days of email. In the existing version of Outlook you can only download a minimum of one month of email, so the new option will improve any space issues on Windows laptops and tablets with limited storage.

The majority of Microsoft’s improvements in what is known as "Office 16" are fairly minor changes. This next version of Office should set the schedule and the ability for Microsoft to regularly update Office 365 with new features, improvements, and fixes. That was the promise of a subscription version of Office, and it appears Microsoft is planning to deliver that for its desktop users.

Que resolvam o problema de não se poder apenas fazer download dos headers no outlook. Não uso o outlook 2013 por essa razão. Isto está previsto para sair agora em 2015?
 
Podiam era fazer a mesma coisa como vao fazer pro Windows 10... quem ja tem uma versao anterior, tinha direito a um upgrade gratis pra nova!!! Assim ficava tudo nivelado...
 
So que ja nao existe versao standalone, agora e por subscricao. Suponho que possam dar um ano a quem tem uma versao mais antiga, mas nao seria para sempre.
 
Sim, o 2013 ainda está à venda, mas o que quis dizer é que o sucessor do 2013 foi o 360. Não estou a ver eles voltarem atrás, ainda por cima com as apps que lançaram hoje na store como preview.

Edit: 365
 
O Office 365 não é o sucessor do Office 2013, são ofertas diferentes. O Office 365 é uma subscrição que inclui o Office 2013.
De certeza que haverá também o Office 2016 em standalone.
 
Claro q vai haver... a n ser q queiram dar um tiro no pé... muita gente n ta disposta a pagar uma mensalidade (q se torna uma bruta duma anuidade) daquelas...
