How to use Microsoft Office to help you get ahead as a student

If you're a student, there's a good chance you're using Microsoft Office to help you get ahead in your studies. But did you know that Office can do a lot more than just provide a way to type up essays and create presentations? In fact, there are a whole host of features in Office that can help you to be more organised, efficient and productive in your studies. Here are just a few of our favourites:

Get organised with OneNote

OneNote is a great way to keep all your notes in one place, whether you're working on an essay, a group project or just trying to keep track of your to-do list. You can create different 'notebooks' for different subjects, and within each notebook you can create different 'sections' for different topics. OneNote is also available on your phone and tablet, so you can access your notes wherever you are.

Save time with templates

There's no need to start from scratch every time you need to create a new document, presentation or spreadsheet. Office comes with a whole range of built-in templates that you can use for all sorts of different projects. And if you can't find what you're looking for, there are loads of free templates available online.

Stay on top of your timetable with Outlook

If you're using Outlook to manage your email, you can also use it to keep track of your timetable and upcoming deadlines. Just create a new calendar and start adding in your classes, assignments and exams. Outlook will even send you reminders so you don't forget anything.

Boost your productivity with macros

If you find yourself doing the same task over and over again in Word or Excel, you can save yourself some time by recording a macro. A macro is a set of instructions that you can play back to automatically carry out a task. For example, if you always format your essays in a certain way, you can record a macro to do it for you.

Collaborate on documents with co-authoring

Working on a group project? With co-authoring in Office, you can work on the same document at the same time as other people, even if you're not in the same room. Just open up the document in Word, Excel or PowerPoint and invite other people to edit it with you. You'll see their changes in real-time, and you can chat to them as you work.
