Microsoft Office 0365



A suite of word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and email software that is available for free to Tufts students, faculty, and staff.

Lately office 365 outlook windows 'maximize' not working properly. It will not remember the recent sizing and most importantly when you click to maximize the window, it won't maximize completely. It's just a pain in the rear. Does anyone else have this problem. Does anyone know of a fix &/or is this just a bug in office 365? Groups in Microsoft 365 let you choose a set of people that you wish to collaborate with and easily set up a collection of resources for those people to share. Resources such as a shared Outlook inbox, shared calendar or a document library for collaborating on files. On April 21, Office 365 became Microsoft 365. The name change is more than a little confusing, but the actual subscription packages remain the same. Here is a breakdown.
