Windows 10 Revealed (13 page)

The Videos app lets you browse, play, filter, and sort video files, as well as add your own folder of videos to the collection. You can do the same for purchased movies and TV shows, and play and pause them across devices.

Microsoft Office Apps

The Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps in Windows 10 have significantly improved—both in design and in functionality. The Office for Windows 10 universal apps support Microsoft’s traditional ribbon menu design. The Reflow mode enhances the viewing of documents on smartphones and small tablets.

Animations in PowerPoint are hardware enabled. The new Office for Windows 10 apps also support wireless printing.

Wrapping It Up

In this chapter I defined and detailed the concept of universal apps and showed you what some of the built-in universal apps—such as Mail, Calendar, Photos, Music, and Videos—and the Office apps look like, and how to use them. I showed you the new design of these apps, and how they behave similarly across devices. I showed you the different features of the Mail and Calendar apps. I also showed you how your photos can be arranged in different ways and more efficiently. I explained how the Music and Videos apps are more powerful now, and extra the how the new Office apps work so well across all devices.
