MS Office apps have color themes. They’re most noticeable in PowerPoint when you have to select a color theme for a presentation style. They exist in Word as well but you won’t know unless you insert a table, add a shape, or a heading. The color of a heading depends on the colors you select for your document. Office 365 customers get the new Office for Mac first. You’ll have Office applications on your Mac or PC, apps on tablets and smartphones for when you're on the go, and Office Online on the web for everywhere in between.

Office 365 ProPlus, the cloud-connected version of Office, delivers the most productive and most secure Office experience—with the lowest total cost of ownership for deployment and management. However, for customers who aren’t ready for the cloud, Office 2019 provides new features and updates to the on-premises apps for both users and IT professionals. Like Windows Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) releases, Office 2019 provides a set of valuable enhancements for customers who can’t be cloud-connected or receive regular updates.
The new enhancements in Office 2019 are a subset of a long list of features that have been added to Office 365 ProPlus over the last three years. Office 2019 is a one-time release and won’t receive future feature updates. However, we’ll continue to add new features to Office 365 ProPlus monthly, including innovations in collaboration, artificial intelligence (AI), security, and more.
Office 2019 delivers features across apps to help users create amazing content in less time. In PowerPoint 2019, you can create cinematic presentations with new features like Morph and Zoom. And improved inking features across the apps in Windows—like the roaming pencil case, pressure sensitivity, and tilt effects—allow you to naturally create documents.
Excel 2019 adds powerful new data analysis features, including new formulas and charts and enhancements to PowerPivot.
Word 2019 and Outlook 2019 help you focus on what matters most. Learning Tools, like Read Aloud and Text Spacing, make it easier to engage with your content. Focus Mode blocks out distractions and puts your content front and center. And Focused Inbox moves less important emails out of the way—so you can get straight to taking care of business. For a longer list of the new features in Office 2019, see our FAQs.
Office 2019 also includes new IT value for enhanced security and streamlined administration. We introduced Click-to-Run (C2R), a modern deployment technology, in Office 2013, and it’s now used to deploy and update Office across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. With Office 2019, we’re moving the on-premises versions of Office to C2R to reduce costs and improve security. The advantages of C2R include predictable monthly security updates, up-to-date apps on installation, reduced network consumption through Windows 10 download optimization technology, and an easy upgrade path to Office 365 ProPlus. C2R offers the same enterprise-focused management capabilities as Microsoft Installer (MSI) based products and will also support an in-place upgrade when you move to Office 2019 from older MSI-based products. To learn more, refer to the Office 2019 Click-to-Run FAQ.
The 2019 release of Office products also includes updates to our servers, and in the coming weeks, we will release Exchange Server 2019, Skype for Business Server 2019, SharePoint Server 2019, and Project Server 2019.
Office 2019 is a valuable update for customers who aren’t yet ready for the cloud. And each time we release a new on-premises version of Office, customers ask us if this will be our last. We’re pleased to confirm that we’re committed to another on-premises release in the future. While the cloud offers real benefits in productivity, security, and total cost of ownership, we recognize that each customer is at a different point in their adoption of cloud services. We see the on-premises version of Office as an important part of our commitment to give customers the flexibility they need to move to the cloud at their own pace.

Sometimes you may need to insert numbers or letters with circles in Word document, but you can’t type them directly or copy them from Internet every time. So how to insert circled numbers and letters in Word exactly?To answer this question, I’ll share the detailed steps in the post. You can have a try following this guide. Insert Circled Numbers from Symbol1. One of the most commonly used way to insert circled numbers or letters is using Symbol.2. Go to Insert tab, click Symbol and choose More Symbols in the.3. Choose Windings, Windings 2 or Wingdings 3 as the font in Symbols tab, then scroll down to find the circled numbers.
Click Insert to add the specified number to your document.4. Note: you can only insert numbers from 1-10 with circles in this way.
So if you want to insert larger numbers or letters with circles, please try the second method. Insert Circled Number or Letter Using Enclose CharactersThere’s a feature called Enclose Characters in Word, you can make use of it to insert circled numbers as well as letters.1.
Switch to Home tab, click the icon of Enclose Characters in Font section.2. Enter the number or text you want to add circle in the textbox, then make the choice of Style and Enclosure. Click OK to implement it.3. You can also select the existing letter in advance and click Enclose Characters to circle it. But don’t forget the number of characters you can circle is 2.4. As for circling 2 characters, like 2 letters or numbers larger than 9, you’ll find the result isn’t very well even if you choose Enlarge symbol in Style.5.
To make it looks better, you can press Alt+F9 to switch to field mode. The circled number I just entered will be displayed as below:6.
The circle and the number are both in the parentheses, you can select the number to shrink its size.7. It’s not enough cause the number will still be on the lower part of the circle.
To raise its position, you can select the number and click the small arrow at the lower right corner of Font section in Home tab.8. Switch to Advanced in the popping out Font window, choose Raised in the drop-down list of Position and click OK.9. Then you can press Alt+F9 to check the result. If it can still not satisfy you, just keep switching the mode to make adjustments till it finally looks good.Insert a Circle Shape and Add Text to ItThis method is not that frequently used, but it still works under certain circumstance.
For example, if you want to circle more than 2 characters, the normal means may not help at all while this one does.1. Switch to Insert tab, click Shapes and choose the oval shape in the list.2.
Hold your Shift key while dragging mouse to draw the shape. It will help you to draw a perfect circle instead of oval.3. You can drag the vertices of it to move or resize it, but don’t forget holding Shift while resizing it, otherwise it will become oval again.4.
And if the color isn’t right, just double click the circle to enable Drawing Tools, you can change the setting in Shape Fill and Shape Outline.5. Then right click the circle and choose Add Text in the menu.6. A textbox will be created inside the circle, you can type any text in it and adjust its.But you can do very little to adjust the text added in this way – you can’t even move it freely.Instead, you can try changing the text into WordArt in advance.7. Click WordArt in Insert tab to choose a style and type the text in the textbox.8. Then you can freely resize and move the new created WordArt to adapt the circle.9. Circled numbers and letters created in this way allow you to adjust them freely, but you must make corresponding changes to both the circle and the WordArt inside it, since they won’t match with each other automatically.
Is there a way I can format the symbol of the circle around the 1? I have a graphic from the internet in a tutorial that has small blue circles with numbers 1, 2, and 3 in white in them. I am trying to replicate those to put in the text I have written. I can’t get the enclose characters to work at all and you also can’t color them. When I try doing the create a circle with a text box in it the 1 doesn’t stay in it when I reduce the size of the circle.
If I decrease the size of the 1, you can’t see what it is. So I am now trying using the symbol but I can’t seem to format it.
